Why March?

Our broken immigration system hurts millions of families across America. It keeps workers under the exploitative heel of employers, pitting workers against each other when we could be united to move our economy forward. It keeps men, women, and children living in fear of raids, detainment, and deportation. Every day that our government doesn’t pass immigration reform, the fabric of America is unraveled, and the American dream is deferred.
Our leaders’ promises are meaningless if they don’t turn their rhetoric into concrete actions and legislation. President Obama, Congress, and the bureaucracy in Washington DC have not delivered the action America needs. We marched on May 1st to show them, and the world, that we’re not going to let them get away with it.
