The protest is being organised. In an op-ed published this Sunday in L'Humanité and Mediapart, 201 personalities from different sectors called for a demonstration against the Immigration law on 21 January.
The government's text, which was largely toughened by right-wing parliamentarians, was painfully adopted on 19 December in the National Assembly.

This op-ed signed by various political figures (such as the head of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure), trade unions (such as the president of the CGT Sophie Binet), but also many artists from the world of entertainment, cinema or books, asks the head of state not to promulgate this law, worrying about a "dangerous turning point in the history of our Republic".

"This law does not respond to the causes of the forced exile of men, women and children fleeing wars or global warming, nor to the challenges of welcoming them with dignity, nor to the challenge of defining a dignified and humane policy of integration," said the signatories, who include actors Pierre Arditi, Bruno Solo, Josiane Balasko, Marina Foïs and Julie Gayet.
They consider that the text was "drafted under the dictation of the merchants of hate who dream of imposing on France their project of national preference".
Also among the signatories are the rapper Jok'Air, the mathematician Cédric Villani, the writer Erik Orsenna and the comedian Guillaume Meurice.
