Thousands March & Rally on Prince William County


Yesterday, the Sunday September 3rd, 2007, more than seven thousand immigrants and supporters marched and rallied in Prince William County to demonstrate and demand that the County Board of Supervisors rescind the antimigrant resolution passed on July 10.
