Philadelphia youth march for immigrant rights
Published Oct 30, 2011 10:03 PM
On Oct. 20, more than 50 demonstrators marched from the Liberty Bell to the sidewalk outside the immigration court, where undocumented youth bravely explained how their family’s undocumented status has deprived them of education, job rights and even the right to live in the country they grew up in. DreamActivist Pennsylvania members spoke out against the massive deportations of youth and their families, enforced through federal regulations such as Secure Communities, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(g) program, and other repressive laws.
