Freedom Walks For Justice - Dallas

Description

DALLAS, TX - On Friday, October 18th, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) will continue the “Freedom Walks for Justice” campaign in Dallas, Texas with the mission of mobilizing Latino communities to vote, and to discuss issues like the economy and jobs.
