Immigration law protest planned for Thursday
Immigrants, students, religious groups and members of the civil rights community will gather Thursday at the state Capitol for a protest against legislation they perceive as being anti-immigrant.
Demonstrators express their opposition to proposed legislation that cracks down on illegal immigration during a protest at the state Capitol on March 3.
The organizers include members of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights [1] and the Georgia Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition [2]. They are protesting outside the Gold Dome against HB 87 and SB 40, so-called Arizona copycat laws. Opponents claim the bills will harm Georgia’s economy and encourage racial profiling.
The protest will be held from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the Capitol steps facing Washington Street.
