PHOENIX — About three dozen members of MoveOn.org, Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA) and other organizations marched to the Phoenix offices of senators John McCain and Jeff Flake on Thursday.

Grecia Lima with Promise Arizona in Action said marchers dropped of a petition with more than 7,000 signatures collected in 30 days of people who “support and families to stay together and have changes in our immigration system.”
