Immigration Voice: Announces Advocacy days in Washington DC in April.
Immigration Voice in its continued efforts to find legislative and
administrative fixes is holding Advocacy Days in Washington DC on
Monday, April 4th and Tuesday, April 5th.
2011 is a crucial year to get the fix needed to clear the backlogs and
allow for our high skilled immigrants to get the relief needed. We need
to capitalize on the opportunity to push for legislation now, as it is
unlikely to have any favorable immigration bill to be brought for the
next 2-3 years (Primary campaigns, Presidential campaigns will take
priority).
IV's vision is to hold more than 400 meetings with the legislator
offices both in the House and the Senate. We will also be holding
meetings with senior administration officials working on immigration
issues. As a grassroots organization we need members from all across the
country to register, participate in the advocacy event, bring awareness
on our issues and seek a positive vote on our provisions from the
legislators.
We aim to resolve this issue but we cannot do it alone and therefore it
is imperative for everyone, and by that we mean EVERY ONE to participate
in one way or the other. If you wanted to be a part of the past events
but couldn't, then now is your chance to make your voices heard and
fight for a fair system and just process. Always remember, we are in
United States at the invitation of our employers and our employers have
filed our green card petitions in order to retain us. It is only fair
and only just to ask for a system that achieves that objective without
delays and without putting the immigrants in probationary limbo for 6-12
years. And it is your obligation to yourself and your family to stand up
for your rights and ask Congress to legislate and fix the system so that
it works the way it was originally intended to work.
Our previous efforts such as the June Advocacy 2010, September Advocacy
and Rally 2007, Flower campaign, San Jose Rally, and many intermediary
mini advocacy events in DC has allowed us to be one step closer to the
goal. We need to make this upcoming event as a final push for reform.
The President's STOU address and feedback from Lawmaker meetings have
provided us the encouragement to pursue this endeavor. As many of our
members know, the efforts in our last advocacy days are consequential in
how we are perceived by the lawmaker offices. IV calls upon members who
participated previously to provide their input on the need for advocacy
efforts and persuade many others to join in.
Immigration Voice will arrange for meetings, advocacy material, and
other logistics necessary for all the events during the Advocacy Days.
All you have to do is show up. We request our members to come in on
Saturday, April 2nd for orientation and training. Please make
arrangements to carpool (for driving distances), book airline tickets,
and contact friends in DC/MD area to host you. IV will not sponsor your
travel and stay for this event. We expect each one of you to take the
initiative and stand up for yourself and your family and use this
opportunity to ask lawmakers to act on high-skilled immigration issue.
Our efforts have to be of a massive scale, we need members from every
State to participate in the event. To be successful we need more than
200 members attending meetings. We also need to know in advance on your
attendance. Please take the time to talk to your employers, arrange for
a leave of absence, and register for the event as soon as possible. Make
every possible attempt to be in DC.
To conduct such an effort, IV also needs contributions. Our estimated
cost is around $50,000 for the event. We need generous contributions
from our members, especially from members who are unable to make it to
the DC event. To be clear, all one time contributions starting from
February 1st will be considered as a contribution to the advocacy event.
All the recurring donations will continue to go towards Donor forum
access. Our advocacy event costs will be on top of our regular costs and
we need to pay for both.
To register the event: http://immigrationv oice.org/ index.php?

I need state chapter leaders to step up and be able to send at least 4-6
members from your state.
