The Washington Dream Act Coalition (WDAC), a grassroots youth-led movement founded by student leaders from all across the state of Washington, has joined an alliance of over 200 organizations, faith groups, community groups, and labor unions that are organizing for a historic rally on April 10th in Seattle to support comprehensive immigration reform. The rally is expected to have over 5,000 people coming from all parts of the state to ensure that Washington’s congressional delegation will support and take the lead on comprehensive immigration reform.

THIS IS THE CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE OF OUR TIME! The time is NOW for Washington State to stand and lead for Immigration Reform. WE ARE PLANNING TO MAKE HISTORY! And We need each of you to be part of it. The Spring is in the air, come out and be part of Real Change. Together we are powerful and we demand JUSTICE FOR ALL. YES!, YES WE CAN!, and YES WE WILL!
