Immigration Rallies

“Sunday, April 9 and Monday, April 10
Immigration activists seek ‘Day of Action’ Utah’s immigrant rights activists
are calling on Utahns to join a “National Day of Action” on the immigration
issue. 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.”
