Change Takes Courage Tour!
Faribault - Albert Lea - Austin - Rochester
Immigration Reform Takes Commitment and Courage
For immediate release:
On Friday April 30th community members will publicly express their support for immigration reform by organizing a public demonstration tour starting in Faribault and ending in Rochester.
Owatonna, MN-April 13-- On March 21st at the national mall in Washington D.C. well over 250,000 immigrant rights supporters made it clear that a just, comprehensive, and humane immigration reform is urgent and cannot wait another year.
Centro Campesino’s members, allies, and youth were present at that historic day and now we are preparing to continue with the movement to fix our broken immigration system. May 1st is approaching fast and thousands of people around the world are preparing to celebrate international workers’ day. At the same time, we take this opportunity to join in solidarity not only for our national movement for immigration reform, but also for the rights of immigrants around the globe.
As part of our solidarity with the demonstrations around the U.S. and the world, Centro Campesino is preparing a tour around several towns in southern Minnesota. On Friday April 30th immigrant families and supporters from southern Minnesota will join in solidarity to raise their voices to send a clear and solid message of Commitment and Courage to support Immigration Reform. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) partnered with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to work on immigration legislation, and both met with President Barack Obama earlier in March on the issue. However, negotiations seem to have stopped after the passage of Healthcare reform. Across the country, we are trying to push congress to get back to work and solve the issues important to our country such as immigration reform.
The tour will begin in Faribault 10:00 a.m., then it will move to Albert Lea, followed by Austin and will finalize in Rochester at 4:00 p.m., where we will be addressing the offices of Senator Amy Klobuchar and Representative Tim Walz on the issue of immigration reform and immigrants rights. We are inviting everyone to come and join us at the different locations or at all four. For more information and details, contact us at info@centrocampesino.net or 507-446-9599.
Centro Campesino in a nonprofit membership-based organization based in Owatonna, Minnesota. The mission of Centro Campesino is to improve the lives of members of the Latino and migrant community in southern Minnesota through community organizing, education, and advocacy.
