After a state-wide ‘Day without Immigrants’ where people refused to go to work or shop and businesses shut their doors, thousands will march at Georgia’s capitol in a circuit that passes detention centers and Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices to demonstrate against HB 87 and call for a Georgia that honors its immigrant population.

On July 1st, segments of HB 87 went into effect, increasing an already hostile environment toward immigrants and communities of color in the state.  In response, hundreds of businesses across Atlanta and in as far away as Macon, Moultrie, Dalton, and other towns closed their doors on Friday in an action that cost the state economy hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many more plan to attend the rally and march on Saturday.
