Alejandro Aviles, the Master of Ceremonies for the rally said, "We really have two goals. One is to plead for a humane and comprehensive reform to immigration policies. And the other is to let Washington know we are watching what they are doing."

Britt Skarda, the pastor of Springdale`s First United Methodist Church said, "Northwest Arkansas is becoming what Northwest Arkansas is because of immigrants. They are a big part of turning this area into a place where a lot of people want to live. Home to all people."
