The gathering was an impressive sight in an elegant setting, with media outlets and legislative staff attending to take note of the message. Thanks to all the community members, advocates and elected officials who came to advocate for funding and legislation, and a special thanks to all the speakers:
Boston Representative Byron Rushing, Local 615Service Employees International Union President Rocio Saenz, Cambridge Senator Anthony Galluccio, student presenter Mariama Samati from Federated Dorchester Neighborhood Houses, Director of the MA Workforce Investment Board Tamika Correia, and Dept. of Ed. Program Developer of Adult and Community Learning Services Andrea Perrault.
Special thanks also to the wonderful Brazilian percussion performance by Marcus Santos and friends. And extra thanks to Gladys Vega, Executive Director of the Chelsea Collaborative, for her attentive and enthusiastic work as MC.I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
