Chicago- On March 10th , 2010 youth are calling for a community mobilization from Union Park to Federal Plaza, ending with a mass coming out direct action demonstration by undocumented youth.

The march calls for legalization for all and the rally at Federal plaza will be part of a national coordinated campaign by youth and students in support for immigration reform. Youth have been “coming out” or openly identifying as undocumented immigrants, and speaking about their stories, as a strategy to get the issue of immigration in people’s minds, and on the national agenda.

In collaboration with the national youth-led network United We Dream, students and youth from around the country will be organizing “coming out of the shadows” actions between March 10th and March 21st, starting right here in Chicago.

The “coming out of the shadows” event will also take the opportunity to call for leadership from our elected representatives. Youth organizers have invited Senator Durbin , president Barrack Obama and Department of Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano to share the stage with them on Wednesday to discuss the issues of immigration reform with the immigrant masses. So far the Obama administration has doubled down on Bush-era enforcement tactics despite his campaign promises of passing immigration reform during his first year.

We are urging everyone to come and support the immigrant Community as they come out of the Shadows and into the streets to demand Immigration reform!!!
