Momentum Keeps Building for Immigration Reform Print E-mail
Thursday, May 21 2009 19:13
Yesterday, May 20th, four (yes, four!) notable events indicate that momentum continues to build in Washington to debate immigration reform this year.  President Obama announced that he is inviting members of Congress to a summit at the White House on June 8th to discuss reforming our nation's immigration policies. Senators Menendez (D-NJ), Gillibrand, (D-NY), Kennedy (D-MA), and Schumer (D-NY) introduced the Reuniting Families Act, legislation that would resolve family immigration backlogs, recapture unused visas, and promote timely reunification of immigrant families.  The Senate Immigration Subcommittee held its second immigration hearing titled "Securing the Borders and America's Points of Entry, What Remains to Be Done."  Also the Police Foundation released a report titled "The Role of Local Police: Striking a Balance Between Immigration Enforcement and Civil Liberties" on the impact and costs of immigration enforcement by local police.

Immigration Reform: Messaging that Works - Part 2 Print E-mail
Tuesday, September 08 2009 15:24
Thursday, 9/17: Forum on Immigration Reform Messaging
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Now for September 17th Forum

In July we introduced more than 200 of you to the Opportunity Agenda and the Reform Immigration For America Campaign sharing their well-researched message strategy to achieve Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR).  We learned about what works to move broad audiences to support CIR, even when facts and appeals to compassion can't reach them.  Since then, AzAN's Immigration Task Force has been working to turn that message into a tool for our Speakers Bureau to roll out across the state.  Come see our new presentation!  Our Task Force will demonstrate how we can reach broad audiences, and how we can avoid pitfalls that ignite their fears.  This will be fun, interactive and empowering!

Date:
Thursday, September 17th
Time: Refreshments at 5pm;Program begins at 6pm
Where: Grace Lutheran Church, 1124 N. 3rd Street (SW Corner of 3rd & Moreland just south of the I-10)
