Tuning In For Immigration Reform

 

National dialogue led by Rep. Gutierrez signals one more step towards just and humane legislation

 

What:   Led by Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), thousands will join Families, Freedom and Faith “house parties” on November 18 to openly discuss the benefits and challenges of reforming our broken immigration system.  The conversation will be broadcast live via telephone to over 325 locations nationwide.  In Los Angeles, more than ten house parties will be held. Four sites will be open to members of the press.

 

Who:    Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), LA-Voice Pico, and other members of the Reform Immigration FOR America Campaign.

Why:    Congressman Luis Gutierrez is expected to introduce immigration reform legislation soon.  Thousands of Americans want to learn what reform would look like.  On Nov. 18, hundred will join friends and families at homes, union halls, churches, ESL classes, and community organizations to hear about the proposed bill and take action in the fight for immigration reform.  What components will be included in the legislation?  When will the bill be debated?  How soon can it pass? And, what can community members do to support the campaign and to involve other people?

Visuals:        Men, women and youth gathered to listen and ask questions.  Participants will then dialogue about what they just heard.  American flags and campaign posters.
