American Families United

Friends, This is Kali Pliego. Here's a post I'm sharing from my personal page. Feel free to copy/paste to your own networks.. don't forget the link! It's incredibly exciting that President-elect Biden is talking about prioritizing immigration reform! I do not plan to sit around and wait for the plans to be made.. I insist on being at the planning table. The past 4 years, Valentines Day has been all about lobbying for legislation to fix the immigration purgatory my family... is in. COVID is keeping me home this year, but NOT keeping me out of these critically important conversations! Our Lobby Day will be virtual, which has opened the door to HUGE participation, across the country, and from our living rooms . It's a good problem to have, but it means we need your help. Can you spare a donation to this challenge? Thanks in advance. Sending love to all. https://www.americanfamiliesunited.org/100_dollar_challenge See more
