Arkansas United to Join National Escalation of Pressure against Attorney Generals and Courts Blocking Positive Action on Immigration Reform
[SPRINGDALE/ FORT SMITH/ LITTLE ROCK] – On July 10, as the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals hears oral arguments on the lawsuit blocking the deferred action initiatives (Deferred Action for Parental Accountability/DAPA and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals/DACA)*, 52 Latino and immigrant voters and families representing an Arkansas advocacy group will join thousands in New Orleans for rallies and marches outside the courthouse – continuing the fight for immigration action and holding accountable elected officials who initiated the lawsuit.
Local nonprofit, Arkansas United, will be gathering deferred action supporters for three send-off rallies in Springdale, Alma and Little Rock for the bus taking its 52 delegates to New Orleans, sending a clear message to elected and public officials standing against immigration reform efforts and spinning hateful rhetoric against America’s immigrant community: Latino and immigrant voters will vote in 2016 and decide the future of immigration reform.
