Atlanta Journal-Constitution//Mary Lou Pickel/September 29, 2006/[1]

The previous September 30 march has been rescheduled for October 7. They're demanding legalization for all illegal aliens, an end to deportations, and they're protesting against GA's SB 529.

Organizers expect 5,000 people to attend a walk for dignity and self-respect for immigrants Oct. 7 from the state Capitol to Turner Field and back.

...The three- to four-mile walk is scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m. and includes about 20 speakers at the Capitol afterwards, said organizer Teodoro Maus, Mexico's former consul general in Atlanta...

...The state immigration bill has put a chill through Georgia's illegal immigrant community, said Maus. If the trend of anti-illegal immigrant rhetoric continues, immigrants will indeed leave the country, he said.

"But if we are going to leave, we should leave with our heads up and with dignity," he said.
