On May Day, at marches and rallies all over the country, more than half a million people stood up for immigration reform.
Your activism is making a difference – last week, the Democratic leadership stood up and introduced an outline for a bi-partisan bill that will pave the road for real reform. There’s a lot in this outline that we support, like family unification and protection for workers. There are also some provisions that we’re going to work to reform. But none of that can happen until they introduce the bill and start the debate in Congress. That’s why we’ve started an emergency action to Congress – to continue the momentum from this weekend and show our elected leaders that the need for reform is real.

Time and time again, our leaders in Congress and in the White House have told us that they understand how important immigration reform is for families and communities across the country. But they still haven’t turned their words of support into action. We don’t need another statement, or another reassurance. We need a bill on the Senate floor. National comprehensive immigration reform is more than a political catchphrase. It’s standing up for what’s right. And it’s the only way to ensure that more states don’t follow Arizona’s lead in legalizing racial profiling and the politics of fear. Send a fax to your elected leaders now. Thank you, p.s. There’s more coverage of this weekend’s marches on our blog – check it out after you send a fax! |
