SWER Walks For Freedom

Students Working for Equal Rights successfully organized the “Freedom Walk” a three-mile national peace march on March 28, starting at the Freedom Tower in downtown Miami to InterAmerican Campus.

The event included more than 100 supporters and numerous members from state and national organization. The rally was effort to stop state legislation from passing SB 2040, Florida’s version of the Arizona Immigration Law that would allow police officials to check the citizenship status of people under arrest or subject to criminal investigation.

The march included Juan Rodriguez of SWER and Florida Immigration Coalition, pastor Pablo Lago and Spanish American League Against Discrimination representative Marco Regalado who spoke about the bill and advocated for the DREAM Act.

Students interested in getting involved should contact Stephanie Wall, head delegate of SWER.
