Dallas Mega March for Immigration Reform Set to Draw Thousands
DALLAS, TX – Organizers anticipate that Sunday’s Mega March for immigration reform will be the largest in the nation.
Event Overview
Thousands of demonstrators are expected to converge in downtown Dallas this Sunday to advocate for immigration reform. Dubbed the “2025 Mega March,” the event has been organized by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and has been in planning for over a month.
Call to Action
Prior to the march, organizers held a press conference on Saturday, urging the community to participate. LULAC President Domingo Garcia emphasized the importance of the march, stating:
“The issue is protecting our democracy, protecting what the Statue of Liberty stands for—that this is a country of immigrants. Protecting our constitution with liberty and justice for all.”
Despite previous immigration rallies drawing smaller crowds due to fears of immigration enforcement, LULAC leaders encourage participation. Chaplain Hilda Duarte remarked:
“No one should stay away because of fear. We ask that you bring your white shirts as a sign of peace and American flags because we’re fighting for you to become a U.S. citizen.”
Event Details
The march is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. outside the Cathedral Guadalupe in downtown Dallas. The route will take participants along Ross Avenue, through Griffin, Commerce, and Harwood streets, culminating in a rally at City Hall.
Garcia insists that this event will redefine the immigration reform conversation, aiming to press both Republican and Democratic leaders for bipartisan solutions to overhaul the current immigration system. He stated:
“We want to change the debate starting tomorrow and that’s why we are marching. We believe this will be the largest march in the United States this year to ask for immigration reform.”
Context and Significance
The immigration issue remains a focal point in national discourse, with daily arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reinforcing the need for comprehensive reform. LULAC representatives believe that a strong turnout will amplify their message. Activist Jasmin Flores expressed:
“We are all here, we’re here to stay and we’re just showing them that we are peaceful. We have a lot of contributions and values that we’re adding to this society.”
Safety measures for the march include coordination with local law enforcement agencies to ensure the event proceeds smoothly.
