A crowd of women, men and children calling for comprehensive immigration reform marched, on Monday, February 24, 2013, from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Downtown Los Angeles to City Hall to launch the “Fast for Families Across America” bus tour, a campaign to take the issue of comprehensive immigration reform to more than 75 congressional districts across the United States of America.
With twin “Fast For Families” buses as their backdrop and news media cameras in front of them, the crowd was represented by a lineup of speakers which included Lisa Sharon Harper (Sojourners), Dae Joong “DJ” Yoon (NAKASEC), Congresswoman Judy Chu, and Eliseo Medina who spoke of comprehensive immigration reform as a pressing issue of the present.
