The AFP reports that U.S. immigrant groups are planning a march the day after Obama's inauguration (Jan. 21).
The march is being organized by about 30 non-governmental organizations and non-profits who work for immigrant rights.
From the article–
"On January 21 we will be here in Washington to ask for reforms and for an end to the raids" at workplaces that have seen illegal immigrants arrested and deported, said Angelica Salas, director of the Los Angeles-based Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
"We ask the president-elect to consider immigration reform one of his 10 domestic priorities," she told reporters Tuesday, adding that she hoped reform legislation would begin "in the first 100 days" of an Obama administration.
