Enough Is Enough!*
*Stop Tearing Our Families Apart!*
*Comprehensive Immigration Reform NOW!*

As we mark the first anniversary of President Obama's inauguration, mass deportations and workplace raids continue to terrorize communities across the United States. Racist immigration policies further divide families and communities and force millions of people to live under the constant threat that any interaction with police—however minor—could lead to detention and even deportation.

We must act now to put an end to these injustices.*
Enough is enough!

Start: 7:21 pm
