In the heart of the Bay Area, an energetic movement is developing, led by a diverse group of activists determined to secure a better future for undocumented immigrants. They have collectively walked 48 miles from San Jose to San Francisco to demand justice, recognition and the right to live without fear.
This march, which began on Saturday morning, August 17, focuses not only on the kilometers traveled, but on the stories told along the way.
Protesters, like Idilia Mez, are pushing for passage of two critical bills that would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have lived in the United States for at least seven months, have paid taxes and have no criminal record.
