Line-up Impressive For Immigration March: Will You Be There Too?

The March for America is shaping up to be the biggest immigration reform gathering of the Obama era.

Just to make sure you are there, the Reform Immigration for America campaign organizers are announcing headliners and speakers.

Playing in Traffic Records recording artists “Los Lonely Boys,” are coming to rock the National Mall Texas/Tejas style.

Representative Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) will speak.

Piolín Por La Manaña’s Eddie “El Piolín” Sotelo, just about the biggest radio host and DJ in the country, will be there.

Ben Jealous (NAACP), Janet Murguía (NCLR), Deepak Bhargava (CCC), Andy Stern (SEIU) and Marc Morial of the National Urban League – among many others -will inspire.

And the weather is expected to cooperate (65 degrees; 30% chance of a “few showers”).

Frank Sharry, Founder and Executive Director or America’s Voice tells why he thinks the march is “a moment of truth for immigration reform” at Huffington Post and Maurice Belanger, a writer for the ImmPolitic blog lays out the case for why the march will be “a game changer” (cross posted here at AlterNet).

But if you really need reasons to come, check out Moses’ story on why he’s marching.  Or Don Alberto’s story.  Or Wooten’s. Or Cynthia’s. Or Lucia’s.  Or Susan’s. Or Lauren’s. Or Youth Pastor Ian’s
