Immigration Week of Action event
While members of Congress are home in their districts this week, they’re meeting with constituents and getting a sense of how folks are feeling about the issues.
That makes this a critical week for moving comprehensive immigration reform forward.
Come out to the Week of Action event on immigration this Sunday in Seattle and help keep the pressure on Congress. Here are the details:
What: Immigration Week of Action event in Seattle
Where: 8824 Renton Ave S
Seattle, WA 98118
When: Sunday, April 7th 4:00 pm
We could help pass a bipartisan bill that not only helps grow our economy and fixes our broken immigration system, but also ensures that 11 million people currently living in the shadows have a real path to citizenship.
If you agree with President Obama that comprehensive immigration reform needs to happen now, then RSVP for the event on Sunday and help get this done:
