WMDKick off the new campaign to pass immigration reform!Thu, 01/14/2010 - 5:00pm Saint Augustin's Church (382 Beech Street, Manchester) Immigration has been an important part of this country's past, present, and future. But the system isn't working - U.S. and foreign workers are being been pitted against each other to the advantage of corporate profit, out-of-date laws have become unenforceable, and a wave of racism and immigrant-bashing have divided people domestically. The system needs to be fixed - and this year we can do it! Like never before, people are coming together all across America demanding a new way forward on this important issue. Here in NH, with the NH Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees and Reform Immigration for America, we are fighting for practical solutions that strengthen our economy, provide for family unification, and improve our national security. Please join us on Thursday, January 14 at 5 pm to kick off the new campaign to pass immigration reform!
Thursday,
January 14 at 5 p.m. Congress and the Administration need to stand for sensible and humane immigration policies that provide a path to citizenship while addressing the fundamental problems inherent in the current system's policies and procedures. With your help, we can work towards creating a set of fair and sustainable immigration laws that focus on: First 100 Days of Obama Administration: Jennifer Donahue, Political Director of the New Hampshire Institute of PoliticsThu, 01/29/2009 - 12:00am The Fells (off of Baboosic Lake Road), Amherst On Thursday, January 29th, Women Making a Difference will welcome Jennifer Donahue who will recap the election of 2008 and concentrate on President Barack Obama's first 100 days.
