The March For America

Dear Friends,

We are gearing up for an important mobilization this Sunday, March 21st and we need your help. President Obama promised an immigration reform bill that provides a common-sense solution for our broken immigration system, one that provides a path to citizenship for the nation’s undocumented and serves the national interest.

But it’s getting late in the game, the administration has actually expanded the failed enforcement-only approach of the Bush administration, and the opportunity could well be lost to set things right if we don’t act now. While Washington dithers, millions suffer. On March 21st, 100,000 immigrants and their allies will march on Washington to say to the White House and Congress, Enough Beltway gridlock! Enough political double-speak! Immigration reform now! Demonstrate the courage that change demands!

Buses will be leaving HAUP on 221-05 Linden Boulevard at 7:30 AM and leaving DC after the Rally around 5:00 PM
