On April 10, 2006, immigrants and their allies from around the nation will mobilize in Washington, DC and multiple other cities to oppose the harsh and unworkable HR 4437. They will be demanding real immigration reform that is comprehensive, respects civil rights, reunites families, protects workers, and offers a path to citizenship for the current undocumented and future immigrants to the US.
In Houston, a march will be starting at Guadalupe Plaza, located at Navigation and Jensen (in front of Talento Bilingue de Houston) at 1:30pm. The march will go into downtown Houston and end at Allen's Landing. People are encouraged to get there early as parking may be really difficult. If this march ends up becoming larger than the Walk for a DREAM that took place on March 25th, it may very well be the largest march in Houston's history.
*side note** Newspaper and news said at least 10,000 expected in Houston.

Prices, immigration rallies to cut Tyson meat output on Mon
Because nearly 30% of Tyson's employees are hispanic, they expect large number of no shows at work.
The result--> reduced production of product. ~~~Effecting US economy~~~
I wish we could organize all these marches on our new thread
