Dear Friend:
We would like to request the pleasure of your participation in an informal media-information breakfast to be held on Monday, February 26 , 2007 at 9: a.m. through 11 a.m. at COFEM's downtown Los Angeles offices located at The California Endowment , 3448 Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90005. This event is by invitation only.
As you may know, a committee of non-profit community organizations including APALC, CARECEN, CHIRLA, COFEM, Hermandad Mexicana Nacional, NAKASEC, NALEO Educational Fund, and SALEF, is working to coordinate a successful educational indoor-rally on March 25, 2007 at the LA Sports Arena to commemorate last year's massive civic activities throughout the United States. Our main intent in planning the large gathering is to educate, celebrate, and mobilize immigrant communities throughout the Southland – Latinos, Asians, Africans, and our allies all are integral in the struggle for immigration reform in 2007. Members of the media are the bloodline in the dissemination of this message and as such we would like to spend a little bit more time with you sharing our events goals.
The First Annual Gathering of Immigrant Communities: Justice for Our Families Now! (Primer Foro Anual de Comunidades Migrantes – Justicia Para Nuestras Familias Ahora) will be highlighted by popular entertainment, elected officials, and members of the community who will urge community members to participate in the ongoing civic activities leading to the passage of an immigration reform bill. The March 25th rally will be free of charge but participants will be asked to bring a blank envelope with a .39 cent stamp to be mailed to their congressional representatives during the event. Media will be key in widespread promotion and education of this event.
Considering your rapidly changing schedules, the Monday breakfast is spread out from 9 am through 11 a.m. We hope you will find this time frame suitable and will consider joining us. To confirm your participation, kindly RSVP at (213) 346-3216.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday.
