The march was organized by We Belong Together, a national campaign co-founded by the National Domestic Workers Alliance and the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum. Organizers said the march is intended to send a message that families belong together and should not be separated by U.S. immigration policies. We speak to one of the marchers, Esmeralda Domínguez. She is recovering from bone cancer, and her primary caretaker is her husband, Jesús, who is undocumented.
