Otto Coca, National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations
Hello, I am the media communications director for the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations (NECO), a not-for-profit agency founded in 1984 by Lee Iacocca and others which promotes immigration rights, supports diversity and religious tolerance, along with assisting our many partners in life-saving initiatives such as disaster relief and bringing healthcare to children in need, as well as maintaining the Ellis Island monument. NECO is the sponsor of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor which is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary.
This Friday will mark the 24th anniversary of ‘Immigration Day’, today a little remembered proclamation signing by President Reagan in the 1980s. NECO is using this day to speak out on the positive impact immigrants have had on our country since its founding as well as sending a message to Wall Street that immigrant entrepreneurs can be a major force in our country’s economic reinvention. NECO’s chairman, Nasser J. Kazeminy, an immigrant entrepreneur himself, will have an op-ed in a major media outlet this Friday on the topic. My team has created a video that supports this message and we wanted to make sure that immigration leaders and opinion makers such as yourself see both the op-ed piece and the video. For a previous Kazeminy op-ed in Huffington Post, please see this link: http://huff.to/sO73D1
Please visit us on Facebook for the full op-ed: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=621&uid=181375695235421
The video is up now at: http://www.youtube.com/user/NYCNECO
