07/12/06 - Illegal Alien Advocates Call For 2 More Marches In Chicago

Immigrant rights advocates announced plans for two more marches that would demand legalization for all undocumented immigrants. They called for a moratorium on deportations.

"A wave of terror is growing across the land so we must begin to march again," said Jose Lopez of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center at a news conference at the Plaza of the Americas, on the 400 block of North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago.

The first march is planned for Wednesday. It will step off from Union Park on the city's West Side and head east into the Loop, retracing the path of a March 10 procession that filled the streets with tens of thousands of people and launched a nationwide series of rallies.

Organizers also announced a second march Aug. 5. It too will start at Union Park, but it will go for three days, and its ultimate destination will be about 40 miles away across the western suburbs: The Batavia office of House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.).
