The march will be held in protest of Donald Trump hosting
the widely popular comedy show, Saturday Night Live (SNL).
A representative of LULAC stated, "There has been strong opposition to Trump hosting SNL this Saturday. Some individuals have suggested that we should not prevent Trump from hosting SNL but that instead, we should voice our opposition by not watching. This view misses the point. Trump has targeted Latinos with his racist and xenophobic remarks and his rhetoric is causing real harm to the Latino community. We cannot allow him the time nor a platform such as SNL to advance such views."
