Lunchtime Immigration Protest
Longtime reader and commenter Brey sent me this message and asked me to pass it along:Dear friends and advocates,
I am personally supporting the event below that takes place on Monday at noon. I hope you can join me.
I am convinced that the current anti-immigrant effort in Washington is directly tied to racism and ethnocentrism. The Monday event is meant to show that a wide array of people believe that immigrants should be treated with respect and dignity. And, that a majority of Americans believe in a nation for people of all races, colors, religions, and ethnicities.
Your presence will add to the display of support for those who work and live with us here in America.
I hope you will stop by for a few minutes or the whole hour. Bring a sandwich and a beverage and make it a day out to lunch if you like.
Citizens for Immigration!
