Immigration rallies planned for cities in California
Marches, rallies, prayer vigils and voter registration drives are planned across California as activists hope to shape the national immigration debate.
The events Wednesday will coincide with a demonstration in Washington, D.C., calling on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
The agricultural town of Hollister in Northern California will see a pro-immigrant candlelight vigil.
Organizers plan a drive to get people to register to vote in San Bernardino.
And a gathering in San Diego is being billed as marking “Undocumented Coming Out Day.”
Events are also planned for San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, Fresno and Bakersfield.
