San Jose: Immigration march planned for Wed absent Elvira
Immigration march planned for Wednesday

An immigrants rights group will hold a march from East San Jose to City Hall Wednesday to call attention to immigration reform.
The Voluntarios de la Comunidad march was organized as part of a rally in Washington D.C., that immigrant Elvira Arellano was supposed to attend before her deportation last month.
Arellano became an activist and a national symbol for undocumented immigrants with U.S.-born children when she defied her deportation order by seeking shelter in a Chicago church for about a year.
Several activists and non-profits will continue the rally in Washington D.C. Communities across the country will hold similar marches to urge lawmakers to create a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
In San Jose, the march will begin at 4 p.m. at Mi Pueblo Plaza, 1775 Story Road and end at City Hall.
