Washington, D.C.—On Monday, November 21, NCLR (National Council of La Raza) along with leading civil rights and labor groups will hold a vigil in front of the White House at Lafayette Square to show solidarity with the launch of the “One Family, One Alabama” campaign in Birmingham, Ala. The campaign, a project of the Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ACIJ), aims to repeal the state’s appalling anti-immigrant law, HB 56, which has devastated immigrant communities and wreaked havoc on Alabama’s schools and businesses.
Vigils will also be held in cities across the country to coincide with the campaign launch on Monday. Participants are asked to wear white.
