Hundreds march in 'Hands Off' protest in Georgia
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (WSAV) — Hundreds of protesters marched through Lawrenceville, Georgia, Staurday, voicing their opposition to ICE raids and deportations. Many held signs that read, 'Full Rights For All Immigrants.' The protest was led by the Party for Socialism and Liberation out of Atlanta. According to the group's website, they want to defeat what they call the 'far right assault' on immigrants, activists and the working class. Cristina Butler was one of the protesters. 'I mean it's sad, really sad. It's scary to see this and the cruelty that families are going through right now. It's not fair. A lot of their status revolves around look or timing or whatever, and it's just not fair that they have to go through so much cruelty just because someone has decided to attack the Latino community.' Butler went on to say Saturday's protest may not bring about big changes but it is part of a bigger movement. 'I don't think my little signs are going to save the day, but I do think it's important for the government, for communities and for everybody to know that there are numbers and we are stronger together and will stand and protect immigrant families.'
