On Saturday, August 7, marchers left Petaluma on a three-day march to the Federal Building in San Francisco. A simultaneous march left San Jose bound for the same destination. These are part of national demonstrations to support a campaign popularly known as “Papeles para todos!” or “Papers for everyone.” The marchers called on Congress to pass H.R. 1511, the “Registry Bill,” which updates a 1929 law so that undocumented people can apply for legal permanent residency if they have lived in the country for at least seven years. It is estimated that approximately eight million of the approximately eleven million undocumented people in the U.S. would benefit under this new update of current law.

Una marcha simultánea salió de San José con destino al mismo destino. Estos son parte de las manifestaciones nacionales para apoyar una campaña conocida popularmente como “¡Papeles para todos!” o “Papers for everyone!” Los manifestantes pidieron al Congreso que apruebe H.R. 1511, el “Proyecto de Ley de Registro”, que actualiza una ley de 1929 para que las personas indocumentadas puedan solicitar la residencia legal permanente si han vivido en el país durante al menos siete años. Se estima que aproximadamente ocho millones de los aproximadamente once millones de personas indocumentadas en los EE. UU. se beneficiarían con esta nueva actualización de la ley actual.
