Senator Rubio Protest In Tampa

As you may have seen, our Senator Rubio has taken ridiculously draconian stances on immigration. Join us as we tell him not to be a Grinch this Holiday Season and stand with immigrant families, NOT extremists who are threatening the just gains we've made with Pres. Obama's Immigrant Action.

Staging Location: 5201 West Kennedy Blvd. 1st Floor of parking garage Tampa, (Map) Press conference prior to office meeting in front of the building, followed by delivery of cards, letters, and pictures to Sen. Rubio's staff.

Hope to see you there!
