I will be posting photos in a day or so about the march on Sunday in SLC to protest pending immigration legislation (a friend of mine attended – said she was moved to tears and will forward me her photos and comments for posting here).
Here are articles in today’s news about rallies nationwide yesterday:
‘We are America’ — Hundreds of thousands demand citizenship for illegal immigrants – New York
S.L. crowd appeals for rights; Shurtleff and Rocky call for unity – Salt Lake
Latinos hope to use momentum
From marches to ballots: Utah minority leaders want the community to start voting – Salt Lake
The Salt Lake Tribune also has published this information:
Across U.S.
In Atlanta, many in white T-shirts, waving American flags, joined a two-mile march from a largely immigrant neighborhood.
In North Carolina and Dallas, immigrant groups called for an economic boycott to show their financial impact.
At the Mississippi Capitol, protesters sang ”We Shall Overcome” in Spanish.
In Washington, D.C., thousands of immigrants, their families and supporters marched Monday from Latino neighborhoods past the White House, then converged on the National Mall.
In Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger Mahony led a prayer calling on Congress to hear their pleas, before the crowd, estimated by police at 3,500, began an evening march.
In Phoenix, police estimated that at least 50,000 people marched from the state fairgrounds to the Capitol for a rally; protest organizers put the number at 80,000 to 100,000.
