Important updated information for Tuesday's State of Play call:

It is clear that the momentum for immigration reform has never been stronger.   In addition to President Obama's announcement tomorrow in Las Vegas, a bi-partisan group of US Senators has released their principles for immigration reform and will hold an event today in Washington DC. Tomorrow's call will be a key moment to discuss what has happened and what we should do in our communities.

Staff from the White House will join us for our State of Play call tomorrow at 6:30 pm eastern / 3:30 pm pacific time.

In addition to the latest briefings from both Las Vegas and Washington DC, we will also have information about the newly-formed Alliance for Citizenship Campaign.

We look forward to having you on the call tomorrow afternoon/evening at 6:30 pm eastern / 5:30 pm central / 4:30 pm mountain and 3:30 pm pacific time.
Please call: 866-952-1906  Your conference title and password is "CAMPAIGN."

It’s begun. The national campaign to pass real immigration reform is underway. Next week there will be events across the country, from Miami and New York City to Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, and other cities – creating a national echo around an announcement by SEIU, FIRM, NAACP, CASA de Maryland, Asian American Justice Center and others in Washington D.C that our communities are united, and we are on the move, with major events planned for this Spring.

On Tuesday, President Obama will deliver the first major speech of his second term next week in Las Vegas, where he will talk about his vision for immigration reform. Now is the time for all of us to come together to create the momentum to win immigration reform that will keep families together and create a roadmap to citizenship for 11 million aspiring new Americans.

Committed advocates leading the national coordination effort will discuss this political moment, and how we are re-structuring the national campaign under the name “Alliance For Citizenship” to take advantage of this historic opportunity to drive a winning strategy.

Date: Tuesday, January 29th 2013
