July 2 March for Justice
Mass Actions for immigrant rights in Georgia

July 1: Day of Non-Compliance with HB87
No School. No Shopping. No Work: a day without immigrants and allies!

July 2: Mass Mobilization at the Capitol
At 10am, thousands will march in downtown Atlanta at the state capitol against HB87 and all other racist anti-immigrant laws. (traveling to Georgia for this action is not considered a violation of the boycott)

The Dream Is Coming
Support Undocumented Youth Organizing:

From Arizona, to the Senate halls, to Georgia and Indiana, undocumented youth have stepped out of the shadows and taken direct action against reactionary anti-immigrant legislation. These young leaders face arrest and risk deportation to break down the wall of fear and galvanize an immigrant-led movement.
