Rallyblog: R.I. immigrants to join national demonstration

“A Day without Immigrants” is set for today in Rhode Island as part of a nationwide demonstration for immigration reform.

It’s difficult to gauge how many people will participate in a rally, service and march in Providence, but police Maj. Paul Fitzgerald has predicted the events could draw 10,000 people.

Three events are scheduled, all in Providence: a 9 a.m. rally at Kennedy Plaza; a 1:30 p.m. "Service in Honor of Immigrant Justice" in Cathedral Square; and a march from Central High School, at 70 Fricker Street, to the State House that is scheduled to assemble at the school at 3:30 p.m.
