4th of July Immigrant March @ Avenida Guadalupe, 7-4

Join Community Leaders, including Congressman Lloyd Doggett, Students, Labor, and Community Organizations, as we march through the heart of the Westside in San Antonio, Texas for Immigrant Rights.

No Human Being is Illegal!

The recent news of President Obama's Executive Order protecting Dream Act eligible students from deportation has added momentum to the Immigrant Rights Movement. It is up to the community to continue to advocate for a permanent solution from Congress so that our families no longer have to live in fear in the United States. We are patriots on the march for our immigrant family and we want Comprehensive Immigration Reform Now!

The July 4th Candlelight Procession is just the start of many marches and public demonstrations to come, as we organize with Viva El Pueblo Latino for a national Immigrant Rights Rally at the Lincoln Memorial on September 15th, 2012.

The Coalition of Community Organizations being led by the Cesar E. Chavez Legacy and Educational Foundation for the Rally at the Lincoln Memorial has drafted Seven Demands to present to our members of Congress.
 

Nuestras 7 Demandas Our Community Needs:

1) Civil Labor and Constitutional Rights for ALL.
2) Equal Opportunities and Affirmative Action.
3) Public Education to ALL, from K-12 to the University.
4) Expansion of Health Services
5) Stop Deportation. Reunification of Families.
6) Immigration Reform and the Dream Act.
7) Adjust Pathway to Citizenship.
