Students and activists gathered in Los Angeles to protest against Arizona’s anti-immigrant law and in support of the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act). Immigrant rights groups and organizations such as The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), and students organizations such as Dreams to be Heard from Cal State Northridge, and IDEAS from UCLA also participated in the protest to support justice and human rights.
