LICENSES CAN'T WAIT RALLY 2019
October 3, 2019 | Massachusetts State House
Arranged by Cosecha and Never Again Boston, a rally gathered supporters from all corners of Boston to legislate driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants. This is a fight that has been ongoing for 15 years, and each year, Cosecha delivers a piece of cake to the lawmakers in the statehouse. Although many people braved the cold in the afternoon of October 3, many people also courageously went inside the statehouse to sit in front of Speaker DeLeo's office, who has stalled the bill for years.
In the 1.5-hour rally, various speakers went on stage to talk about their personal experiences of not having a driver's license. To support both the undocumented community and those inside the statehouse, rally-ers chanted loudly outside: "The people united, will never be divided!"
