Participants are encouraged to come out, express their stance on immigration rights, and ensure that the voices of those affected by these policies are heard.
Inspiration and Peaceful Protest
The event takes inspiration from the late civil rights leader John Lewis, who consistently emphasized that silence in the face of injustice is not an option. The aim is to create a peaceful and family-friendly environment. It is all about justice and the rule of law!
What to Bring?
As you gear up for this monumental day, there are a few things you might want to consider bringing along.
