Immigrant and Indigenous groups demanded what they called “just immigration reform” from Rep. Mike Thompson on Thursday at a rally with speakers who addressed a crowd of about 50 members and allies.
The rally, sponsored by the umbrella group Immigrant and Indigenous Women of Sonoma County, was given in both Spanish and English outside the Sonoma County building in Santa Rosa where Thompson, D-St. Helena, has an office. It was held to grab the attention of Thompson and all of Congress, organizers said.
Rally participants said Congress promised to seek reforms beyond the norm in a legislative package within the first 100 days of the new administration. That day passed nearly a month ago.
