MIAMI – In a much awaited moment of growing unity and escalating action, over fifty diverse organizations invite the South Florida community to put Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach on the map as part of the Historic National Movement in favor of legalization.
The organizations are calling on the churches, elected officials and business leaders and the entire community to actively participate this Friday, Sunday and Monday to make the mobilization a strong show of unity to stand together in solidarity with the one million Floridians who are denied equality and full integration into their communities.
The march is in support of comprehensive immigration reform that restores the rule of law, honors our history as a nation of immigrants and values the hard working immigrant families that make Florida’s industries prosper. Immigrant contributions to our economy, culture and communities will be celebrated.
