Join the State of Play call: Wednesday this week

from Susan Chinn, Campaign Manager, Alliance for Citizenship

Tomorrow, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address before the joint Chambers of Congress. Senator Marco Rubio will immediately follow with the Republican response, speaking in English and Spanish. Two weeks ago, in his speech in Vegas, the President declared that immigration reform is his priority issue as he begins his new term. In the meantime, Senator Rubio has stepped into the spotlight, making immigration his signature issue. The momentum is growing.

On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold its first hearing on immigration reform. Janet Murgia, President of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), a partner organization in the Alliance for Citizenship, will be a prominent speaker, testifying before the Committee.

After these key events in Washington this week, members of Congress will be back in their home district offices next week.

To make sense of everything that will be said in Washington this week, and to know what you need to do next week when your Senators and Representatives are back in your districts, please join us for the next State of Play call Wednesday, Feb 13th, 2013 at 6:30pm Eastern, 3:30pm Pacific.

Please call: 785-424-1825 or 1-866-952-1906
Please make sure to call in a few minutes in advance to give yourself ample time to check in. There will be a Q&A at the end of the call so that you will be able to ask your questions directly to the experts on the call.

The State of Play call is for advocates supporting immigration reform that keep families together and promotes a clear road map to citizenship for the 11 million, aspiring to be Americans. The call is closed to members of the media. If you are a member of the media and would like to schedule an interview with experts or speakers, please contact Felipe Benitez, Deputy Dir of Communications at fbenitez@allianceforcitizenship.org .
