We start making DAILY calls to both our Senators and White House to make sure that they are hearing from their pro-immigrant constituency. Just like we take time each day to drink our coffee, everyone around the table pledged to take 3 minutes of their day to make 3 phone calls. In addition, each person will get 8-10 other people to make the same pledge so that at least 100 phone calls are being made each day. We will start making calls on Monday, February 20 till the end of March.
Congress is in recess for the next 10-days so the district numbers are listed below.
Senator Diane Feinstein
(310) 914-7300
Senator Barbara Boxer
(213) 894-5000
White House
(202) 456-1111

Hello, my name is (your NAME) and I am calling from (your CITY, STATE). I urge you to take a stance against the Sensenbrenner bill, H.R. 4437, the “Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act.” This mean-spirited, anti-immigrant bill will do nothing to make our nation and communities safer and instead unfairly criminalize millions of immigrants overnight. This is not a solution to fixing our nation’s failed immigration system. We need realistic, workable and humane immigration reform legislation that will keep our economy growing and keep our families together. I urge you support comprehensive immigration reform solutions. Thank you.”
