This week, President Obama is taking the first major step towards fulfilling on his campaign promise to reform our broken immigration system. He has invited Congressional leaders to the White House on Thursday for a working session on immigration reform.
Please take a couple of minutes to customize and send a fax to your Representative saying that you expect Congress to commit to real action this year, not just "check the box" on immigration by having a few high-profile meetings:

I know, we already asked you to send a fax a couple of weeks ago. But campaigns like this succeed or fail by volume and repetition. We have to keep telling Congress and the White House that we expect them to find workable solutions that are consistent with our values and move us forward together -- and we expect them to do it this year.

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.

Last week during our annual general assembly, our members decided to take part in a nationally coordinated campaign “Reform Immigration FOR America.” Organizations across the country have joined this new effort to tell congress it's time to fix the broken immigration system.
The Campaign to Reform Immigration for America is a united national effort that brings together individuals and grassroots organizations with the mission to build support for workable comprehensive immigration reform.
The goal is to gather 100,000 petition signatures by June 15. Can you help?
