CALL ALERT - National Call-In Day: March 28th and 29th!!

Immigrants and Their Allies Join Together And Demand Comprehensive Immigration Reform with Calls to Congress

March 27, 2007

WHAT:

Following Congressmen Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Congressman Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) bipartisan introduction of a comprehensive immigration reform bill in the House, advocates will jam the phone lines in Congress as part of a national call-in day on March 28 and 29.  The Fair Immigration Reform Movement along with the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform are inviting families, workers, students, faith leaders, business leaders, immigrant rights groups and communities across the country to become a part of the movement for immigrant rights. 

LULAC is working in coordination with the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR), a national campaign to get legislation enacted this year. The unprecedented campaign brings together faith-based and labor organizations, state, local, and national advocates, and immigrant families and workers themselves to remind our elected representatives in Washington that passing comprehensive immigration reform this year is a priority, no matter what state or congressional district they represent.

If you have not done so already, we also welcome you sign the One Million Voices United Petition. Or you can visit the website directly at: http://www.onemillionvoicesunited.org/  

The time is NOW for comprehensive immigration reform in this country. This call-in day is part of a national coordinated campaign of actions to push for fair and humane comprehensive reform

WHEN:

Wednesday, March 28, 2007 and Thursday, March 29, 2007

HOW:

Connect to the office of your Congress member. Once connected, tell your Representative that the country needs workable immigration reform now.
WHO: Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM) and the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR)
