Tonight at the Good Job LA in Inglewood, twelve people from the LA community will be honored for their upcoming participation in the annual Selma to Montgomery march in Alabama. These activists are demanding the repeal of a controversial immigration law in Alabama. They will walk a fifty three mile trek following the famous Bloody Sunday march in 1965. Jibri Range is a 19 year old South LA resident who works for the Good Job LA organization and is embarking on the trip to Alabama. He has a clear message for large corporations.

Jibri and the other eleven individuals will join thousands of Civil Rights activists who will begin their trek on March 7th in Selma Alabama.
