Protesters across Dallas-Fort Worth hope rallies against immigrant separation will bring change
Hundreds of North Texans plan to protest the separation of immigrant children from their parents Saturday by participating in Dallas-Fort Worth events as part of a series of nationwide demonstrations.
More than 628 events have been planned in all 50 states to “send a clear message to Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress,” according to Families Belong Together — a coalition of advocacy and civil-rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union, MoveOn, United We Dream, Women’s March and the YWCA.
In Dallas, a rally at 10 a.m. Saturday at City Hall will be followed by a march at 11 a.m. A psychologist will speak about the trauma that detained immigrant children experience, and a representative from the Democratic Party will be available to register people to vote.
Michelle Wentz, who planned the Dallas march, hopes for 1,500 to 2,000 attendees. She said it has been “absolutely incredible” to witness her community’s empathy and passion for this immigration issue.
