Farmworker Justice President Bruce Goldstein was one of 200 representatives of immigrant rights groups arrested today on Capitol Hill during the March for Immigrant Dignity and Respect. The event brought together tens of thousands of individuals and families who called on Congress to address our broken immigration system that affects millions. 

“Actions like today’s are necessary to send a strong message to members of Congress that their inaction on immigration reform has dire consequences,” said Goldstein. “Thousands of undocumented farmworkers live and work in fear each day, unable to secure immigration status and subject to discrimination.”

“Those of us who marched and risked arrest today are speaking out for millions who can’t. While thousands live in the shadows, we need to show Congress and the public that immigration reform matters,” said Goldstein.
