Sign up: Democracy Exchange on immigration reform and civic engagement
In our last couple of posts on this blog we’ve been focusing on immigration reform and tying it to democracy as a whole. Today, thousands of people mobilized and descended upon Washington, D.C. to make their voices heard and tell Congress that immigration reform is needed right now. Reports out of Washington say that Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) would like to schedule a hearing on April 17 to discuss immigration reform, and hopefully, have a bill drafted by that time.
Until then, conversations about immigration will be going on across the country, including right here with the Campaign.
On Monday, April 15 the next Democracy Exchange will focus on immigration reform and civic engagement. Join us at 2pm for what will surely be a great discussion with Oscar Chacon of NALACC (National Association of Latin American and Caribbean Communities), Opal Tometi of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Erin Oshiro of the Asian American Justice Center, and Susan Downs-Karkos of Welcoming America.
Please join in and sign up for the call here.
Contact me (blee@strongerdemocracy.org) if there are any questions. We look forward to a great discussion!
