Rabby Syed, United Workers Movement president, said they will ask for an extension of their permit.
He said they acquired a permit from the Department of Public Lands and Coastal Resource Management last month to use a portion of the beach area for their camp.
Their group paid $100 for the permit and has complied with all the requirements, including providing their own portable rest room, Syed said.
He said the power supply was provided by their supporters in the neighboring area.
The plan to extend their gathering aims to support the Nov. 29 court hearing regarding the lawsuit filed against the implementation of the CW rule.
Since they started their prayer vigil, Syed said they have not encountered any anti-guest worker campaign unlike last year when some individuals passed by, shouted at them and made derogatory remarks.
Today, he said their group will celebrate Thanksgiving in a very simple but special way.
They continue to hope that parole in place will be granted to all nonresidents in the CNMI.
“We continue to pray because that’s the best way to reach God who is more powerful than anyone and He alone can make a difference,” Syed said.
