Immigration Rally coming to Occidental Park this Saturday

The City of Seattle is expecting anywhere from 5,000 – 8,000 people to crowd Occidental Park this Saturday, April 10th,  to participate in a national day of action in support of comprehensive immigration reform.

They will not be closing streets ahead of time but SDOT/SPD will close streets if it becomes necessary during the event. Prepare for traffic, a huge crowd, and lots of buses parked throughout the neighborhood and in parking lots.

According to We Are One America’s website, the “gates” will open at 11am and the program begins at noon. Confirmed speakers include:

Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington
Dow Constantine,
King County Executive
Pramila Jayapal,
Executive Director, OneAmerica
Cecile Hansen, Duwamish Tribal Chair
Mike Gempler, Washington Growers’ League
Sergio Salinas, SEIU Local 6
