Sept 20th 2003 Los Angeles CA
In an action reminiscent of the 60’s civil rights era, immigrants will set out from nine cities to converge on Washington and New York City.
The Big Apple is expecting a 100,000-person turn out.
The IMMIGRANT WORKERS FREEDOM RIDE bus caravans will make stops along the way to demand:
--- Legalization and a “road to citizenship” ---
Family reunification and ending the backlog of application ---
Protecting the rights of immigrants in the workplace ---
Protecting the civil rights and civil liberties of all.
The city of Los Angeles and 150 organizations have endorsed the Freedom Ride.
