Rise and Resist

Rise and Resist gathered for its 20th silent vigil in support of immigration justice yesterday, at Grand Central Terminal. These regular protests have grown in strength, as allied organizations, like Planned Parenthood, and passersby join their voices to Rise and Resist activists. Over 200 activists and allies participated in this action. The objective is to keep the conversation about immigration justice alive and vibrant, inspire others to participate, and to send a message to political leaders, the administration, and its enforcers, and that public opposition to dangerous and unjust policies, including the dehumanization and vilification of immigrants, is powerful and will not blow over.
