The Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance (RITA) will travel to Washington, DC, as the Texas<\/strong> Caravan for America<\/strong> with 4 buses, over 200 people,<\/strong> to participate in the March for America on Sunday, March 21, 2010.<\/p>\n

We will march on Washington, DC to demand immigration reform and economic justice for all Americans. Our vision of reform includes immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens working shoulder to shoulder to achieve better wages, working conditions, and labor protections, and of an American that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s back to work, with a fair balance between Main Street and Wall Street.<\/p>\n

We will come together as one voice on the National Mall for a strong America \u00e2\u20ac\u201c for families, for workers, for businesses, and for security.<\/p>\n

Join the Texas Caravan for America<\/strong> and thousands from across the country in the March For America<\/strong> in DC on March 21st, and demand Congress act NOW to pass immigration reform!<\/p>\n
