3 Jun 2009I am writing to you from Washington DC and am in the company of about 700 other people with one thing on their mind, Reform Immigration for America. What that means for each individual differs pero the energy is high and all the people here are here to work. So far I have met people from so many different states, from so many different backgrounds. Some are policy makers, some are activists, some are importantly, immigrants themselves.
I need to sit down with my notes from the Welcome Luncheon which included a keynote speech from Representative Luis Gutierrez and breakdown a little, the tone that was set for this summit.
Pero in the meantime, I think it speaks to the some of the strategic organizing when you think how this summit is part of a national effort across the country that includes local actions which jumped off yesterday. Here’s a video from the Los Angeles jump off.
