On May 1,2020 close to 100 vehicles drove from Lincoln Park, located on Grand Rapids West Side and drove east on Bridge Street through the heart of the city in a “Caravan for Dignity” to bring attention to the issues facing the undocumented immigrant community in Grand Rapids.
Movimiento Cosecha GR was demanding driver’s licenses for all, but they also emphasized the fact that immigrant workers are essential workers that are working through the COVID-19 crisis, putting them at risk for greater exposure to the virus. The 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. are not eligible for any of the COVID-19 relief funds from the federal government.
Movimiento Cosecha GR, is part of a nationwide, non-violent movement fighting for the dignity, protection and respect for all immigrants, including rights for those that are undocumented.
