Rally @ the Capitol 11/25/05

This rally was organized in direct response to the anti-immigration rally that Sen. Chip Rogers held a few weeks earlier. Our main focus was to protest against and call attention to the callousness SB171, which would have denied higher education to undocumented students. SB171 was withdrawn. This rally was our first step of many.
