Listen to this moving testimony of Patrick Fierro who got
arrested in today's demonstration (April 10, 2014), along with Emily
Freeman and Alejandra Gomez on either side of him for crossing federal
jurisdictional lines in front of the LBJ Library. Ironically, today was a
commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the passage of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act. This rally and march calling for an end to deportations
mirrors that very same call for social justice and human dignity that
fueled the legislation that expanded civil rights to U.S. minorities 50
years ago.
