as the largest march in history. The march is being held to support the
McCain-Kennedy immigration bill. The march will start at the Cathedral

displayed.

b. Everyone wears white, to signify peace.

There are! many opportunities to volunteer including the areas of
logistics, media, security, voter registration, etc.

Groups from all racial/ethnic communities are invited to participate in
the march.

There will be voter regisration tables at the plaza.

There will be VIP speakers. The program will start off with first
graders leading us in the pledge of allegiance.

MONDAY, APRIL 10 - National Immigrant Civil Rights Day
On Monday, April 10, people in the Dallas area will wear white ribbons,
arm bands or wristbands to remind people of the importance of dealing
with immigrants civily and justly.

Monday April 10 will also be "NOT A PENNY" day. All persons are asked
not to spend a single cent on April 10. Don't buy gas, don't go to
Walmart, don't go to lunch. This is meant to show the impact and
importance of the immigrant on our economy.
