UPDATE: Community members in Shenandoah, where Mexican immigrant Luis Ramirez was murdered, are planning a Unity Celebration. The event is taking place at the same time as another group holds an “anti-illegal immigration rally.”

“The only proven way to counter their effect is to hold a positive, safe, meaningful and uplifting event at the same time,” Unity Celebration organizers said. “They are using us and our misfortunes for their own agenda.”

The Unity Celebration will be held Saturday, August 30th, 6 -7 :30PM, at  Kahillat Isreal Non-Denominational Christian Church, 213  W. Oak St., Shenandoah.
