April 9 (Sunday): Rally for Human Rights of Immigrants - Buses from Riverhead at Noon, Rally 2-4 pm
A rally for Immigrants Human rights will be held in front of the Massapequa Park office of Rep. King on Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4 pm. Congressman King is the co-author of HR 4437 , a bill which passed the House of Representatives in December. It would make it a felony crime to be an un-documented immigrant and it would also make it a crime to aid an un-documented person. Clergy and laity now working to help immigrants cope with problems in the USA would be criminals if this law passes Congress. It is now being debated in the Senate.
The rally is sponsored by many LI organizations including the LI Progressive Coalition, the Long Island Immigrant Alliance and the American Friends Service Committee.
Buses from the Riverhead area going to the rally are being coordinated by Sister Margaret Smyth of the North Fork Hispanic Apostalate. Call 631-369-4601 for information on the buses.
