Immigration Reform 'Fast For Families Across America' Bus Tour Coming To Texas

[TexasTowelie]

Fast for Families, an immigration reform advocacy group that believes in the non-violent, fasting measures used by Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi to create social change, has started their second phase of their campaign.

The group launched the "Fast for Families Across America" national bus tour on Monday, hoping to travel to more than 100 congressional districts in order to engage voters in supporting comprehensive immigration reform.

"We want House Speaker John Boehner to understand that we have come too far, too many people have suffered, we have struggled too hard, too many people have died, to give up now," said Service Employees International Union international Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina. "We will keep fighting as long as it takes to make sure America can be the nation of our dreams where everyone is respected, everyone is valued, everyone is welcome."

The bus tour will be making many stops in Texas, in several key districts with Republican members that have contributing in the stalling of immigration reform efforts.
