Human chain protest for immigration planned tonight
http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=6674480
When is this going to end???
Hundreds of Coachella Valley residents are expected to line up in the streets Monday night to protest the immigration bill currently in the US Senate.
Event organizers plan to form a human chain from one end of the Coachella Valley to the other.
The rally begins at 7 PM lasting about an hour and a half.
The grassroots organization known as Comite Latino is putting this on and they're hoping nearly 3,000 people show up.
This is the second demonstration Comite Latino has organized this year the last one happening on May 1st known as 'A Day without an Immigrant."
Comite Latino has been busy promoting the event speaking at churches, posting flyers throughout the valley, doing television and radio interviews
The organizers tell NewsChannel 3 they came up with the human chain idea just last week and so far, the Hispanic community is supporting it.
If you're interested in taking part in this, here's where to line up.
In Indio Highway 111 near the K-Mart store.
In Mecca Second Street and Avenue 62.
In Thermal on Church Street.
In Coachella on Harrison between Avenues 48 and 52.
And in Cathedral City Gerald Ford and Highway 111.
Everyone is invited to participate you don't have to be Hispanic.
But, organizers request that you wear a white t-shirt to signify solidarity and because white shirts can be seen clearly in the evening.
Also, bring a flashlight. At the end of the rally around 8:30, participants will turn on their flashlights to symbolize 'rays of hope' that a fair immigration reform policy will eventually pass."Ask not what your country can do for you --ask what you can do for your country" John F. Kennedy
