The National Day of Action for Immigrant Justice

by april10.org
The plan for the April 10 Day of Action came from the
grassroots. The National Capital Immigrant Coalition
-- a coalition of immigrant, labor, faith, civil rights
and business community groups in the metro, Washington,
DC area -- and allies around the nation, developed the
concept of a National Day of Action. Their good idea
caught on like wildfire and today hundreds of local
grassroots organizations and coalitions are working
together in cities all over America to make our voices
heard.
For months, the incredible energy and organizing talent
within immigrant communities has been leading the
national news. Communities that have lived in the
shadows and in fear are now speaking out about how
America's broken immigration system regularly rips
families apart, creates the conditions for gross
workplace and civil rights violations, and fuels a
political climate where being 'anti-immigrant' is
considered by some politicians to be a winning
strategy.

Immigrant communities are coming together on April 10
to proudly declare that 'We Are America' and that
immigration reform must not violate the American values
that we cherish. In cities from coast-to-coast,
immigrants, families and friends will gather, tell our
own personal stories, demand political action and
contribute our energy and talents to the growing
movement for immigrant justice.

Our goal is to stop anti-immigrant legislation from
becoming law and to pass real, comprehensive
immigration reform that provides a clear path to
citizenship, unites families, and ensures workplace and
civil rights protections for all.

You can help support immigrant families on April 10.
