LULAC Supports Immigrant Rights Demonstrations

LULAC STANDS WITH OUR COMMUNITY IN THE EXERCISE OF ITS FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND NONVIOLENT PUBLIC ACTIONS

Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Prepares Local Leaders on How to Hold Safe, Lawful Rallies in Support of Non-Criminal Immigrants

Washington, DC - The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) stands in solidarity with the tens of thousands of individuals who have taken to the streets across the United States in support of non-criminal immigrants falling victims to mass deportations.

"LULAC is moved by the spontaneous show of solidarity, courage, and unity across our great nation in recent days," says Roman Palomares, LULAC National President and Chairman of the Board. "Throughout our country, people young and old are joining hands, raising their voices, and standing for the millions of undocumented immigrants who are now being threatened with unfair mass deportations,” he added.

LULAC has developed a simple checklist on how to organize safe, effective public actions.

In Los Angeles, thousands of demonstrators gathered near City Hall, eventually moving to a section of the 101 Freeway, one of the nation’s busiest thoroughfares. Similarly, in Dallas, approximately 1,600 protesters convened downtown, carrying signs and flags. San Diego also witnessed significant demonstrations, with groups of protesters displaying homemade signs with pro-immigration messages throughout the city.
