NCLR is incredibly proud of everybody who rallied alongside us in Montgomery over the weekend to protest Alabama’s hateful anti-immigrant law, SB 56. Thousands of people from across the nation took part in the rally, along with NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguía, as well as leaders from various civil rights and labor organizations such NAACP and SEIU. Protesters reminded Alabama lawmakers that we are “one family” and that supporting hateful and divisive laws will not be tolerated. The Governor of Alabama, Robert Bentley, has already indicated that parts of the law will need to be changed. But NCLR, along with the thousands who came out to protest, will not stop fighting SB 56 until it is fully repealed. Check out this slideshow from the event.
