A 16 year old Texas boy is in critical condition, five days after two white teenagers shouting anti-Hispanic epithets beat and sodomized him with a plastic pipe, cut him with a knife, poured bleach over him, and left him for dead.
His attackers apparently believed the Hispanic boy had tried to kiss a girl at a party.
On Monday, May 1, citizens and immigrants alike will wear white and join in SOMOS AMERICA/WE ARE AMERICA marches in support of comprehensive, just immigration reform. Many who are unable to participate will wear white that day in solidarity.
Join a march on Monday. Wear white. Stand against the wind of hate.
SOMOS AMERICA
