Bakersfield, CA –From all corners of the Golden State, thousands of immigrant rights leaders, faith organizations, student groups, elected officials, allies, labor unions, including the United Farm Workers, the UFW Foundation and other supporters will travel in car and bus caravans to Bakersfield, California where they will urge House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) to support and press for a vote on immigration reform with a path to citizenship. Farm workers will be coming from Stockton, Salinas, Santa Rosa, Napa, Porterville, Fresno, Madera, Bakersfield, Delano, Arvin, Lamont, Wasco and Oxnard to join in the immigration reform effort. “The Path to Citizenship Goes through Bakersfield” is one of hundreds of actions and activities across the nation, escalating the stakes for reform during the congressional August recess. The 1,100-car caravan highlights the urgency for immigration reform in the immigrant, Latino, and Asian communities who have marched, mobilized, and voted in support of an overhaul for years. The time is now for a real solution and the message to lawmakers is that reform with a path to citizenship is the answer our community seeks and it will take no for an answer. Please join us at this historical event. Call your local office and let them know you are coming and ask for more details.
