“Anyone who supports human dignity and justice can show their support by joining the march,” Doromal said in his letter to the guest workers.
The former Rota teacher said she was extremely happy that all of the guest worker groups are coming together with one voice.
“I’ll be with you in spirit,” she said.
United Workers Movement, NMI president Rabby Syed said they are expecting the participation of hundreds of people.
Rep. Tina Sablan, Ed Propst, Ron Hodges and attorney Steve Woodruff have already confirmed their attendance, Syed said.
Simon Sin of the Korean community will also join them, he added.
Syed said they will again urge the federal government to protect the guest workers during the transition period in the implementation of the federalization law.
“Families must not be divided, and our U.S. citizen children must be protected,” he said.
Ronnie Doca, Filipino Contract Workers Association president, said guest worker leaders have been meeting since last week to finalize the rally.
The rally is supported by Dekada, the Human Dignity Movement, the Pilipino Contract Workers Association as well as the Chinese, Bangladeshi, Nepalese and Korean communities, he said.
“Our reason for having this rally is not to bring harm or to step into anyone’s toe. We just wanted to express concerns to the federal government,” Doca said.
He said guest workers are tax payers, too.
“We contribute a lot to the community,” he added.
The rally will start at the Garapan Fishing Base across from Kristo Rai Church at 6 p.m.
Participants will then march toward American Memorial Park where Doromal’s special message will be read.
