Immigration activists seek 'Day of Action'
Two events planned by Proyecto Latino de Utah and the Utah Hispanic Legislative Task Force are meant to give Utah's Latinos a voice as federal lawmakers debate immigration policy reform.
A "Dignity March" is planned for Sunday, April 9, from noon to 5 p.m., from the City and County Building, 450 S. State, to the state Capitol. Then, on Monday, April 10, the community is invited to join in the "National Day of Action" with a 4:30 p.m. rally at the City-County Building.
Nationally, marches calling for solidarity against get-tough immigration reform have been gathering steam. In Utah, hundreds of high school and middle school students have already participated by walking out of class this week.
