Movimiento Cosecha Indiana marched 300 miles across the state, from Gary to Clarksville, to advocate for driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants. The march stopped in 11 cities as an homage to the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.
The group wants lawmakers to reverse policies that bar undocumented immigrants from getting driver’s licenses.
Indiana passed a law in 2007 which tied driver’s licenses, permits and vehicle registration to citizenship and immigration status – aligning with 2005 federal legislation.
Dara Marquez, a field organizer for Movimiento Cosecha Indiana, said these policies target the ability of undocumented immigrants to function in their communities.
