It's time to lead on CIR

from Donna De La Cruz, Reform Immigration FOR America

It's been nearly a week since the election, and one thing is certain: the conversation in America has changed -- and you helped change it.

News outlets across the country are reporting what you and I have known all along: that with our vote, we have an undeniable power to demand real leadership in Washington to take on comprehensive immigration reform.

Our election messages -– from registering to vote to finding your polling place -– reached over 3.1 million people, and the proof of our work is in the historic numbers of immigrant and Latino voters that cast their ballots. For the first time, our vote makes up a double-digit percentage of total national turnout.

Most importantly, we turned out for our families. We supported candidates who stood for our issues, and rejected anti-immigrant hardliners who promised to obstruct progress on reform.

Now, it's up to us to hold our leaders to their promises to fix our broken system and to ensure that their words become action.

Our work begins now. Send your message to call on the White House and Congress to lead the charge on day one to fight for reform that ensures dignity and unity for every family.

With hope,

Donna De La Cruz
