Friend,

I want to share the profound experience I had at the 60th anniversary of the
March on Washington in our nation’s capital a couple weeks ago.

I stood with fearless leaders for racial justice and civil rights, speaking from
the same place that Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his deeply
inspirational "I Have a Dream" speech, which mobilized a movement to enact the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today, that call for justice echoes in our ongoing fight for immigrants’
rights.

I had the privilege of amplifying NILC’s voice and our fight for immigrant
justice amidst the rallying cry of tens of thousands of activists on the
National Mall. Please take a moment to hear what I had to say >>>

Throughout the march, it was striking to hear each speaker take stock of how the
progress we’ve made is unraveling and how white supremacy is on the rise across
the country. At the same time, it was encouraging to see movements injecting
energy into one another and banding together in our broader fight for justice.

We face a tough road ahead in our fight to fulfill a vision of a country in
which we all have the freedom to thrive. Our response must be united. We need to
demonstrate to Congress, state governments, and the U.S. Supreme Court that we
stand firm against injustice. We will not yield. We will not falter.

With the strength of those who marched before us and with us on August 26, it is
clear that our fights and our fates are intertwined. Tu lucha es mi lucha. Your struggle is my struggle.

Together, let us march toward justice.

Pa'lante,

Kica Matos
President
National Immigration Law Center
