IMMIGRANT SOLIDARITY CALL IN DAY TODAY FROM 2:30-5:30!
*PLEASE POST WIDELY*
The Time Is Now!
On Wednesday, May 24, between 2:30 and 5:30 PM Eastern Time, call your Senators.
Tell them to “Keep Our Families Together.”
Tomorrow the full Senate will finally vote on a very important immigration
bill. Months of actions, marches and rallies by youth, immigrants and their
allies have brought us to this point, but the final bill in the Senate could
still have severe consequences for immigrants and their families in America.
Remember, WE ARE AMERICA!
Now is the time for immigrant youth and their friends to act!
On May 24 join thousands of youth from across the United States in a
national call-in day for immigrant rights. This will be our last and best
chance to impact the immigration debate in the Senate. That afternoon, a
smaller group of youth from across the country will be at the Capitol in
Washington, DC sharing personal testimony at a national press event.
1) Make the Call!
On Wednesday, May 24 dial 1-800-637-1928.
This number will get you to the Senate switchboard, where you can be
transferred to your Senators’ offices. (Michigan folks..our senators are Levin and Stabenow)
Note: A list of Senators for each state will be available on

2)What You Can Say:
The number of calls matters. If we get enough calls into the Senate, we
might overwhelm the switchboard, and that’s a good thing.
Expect to only have a few moments to actually talk with folks in your
Senator’s offices.
If you do get through to your Senators, give them the following message.
My name is [your name], I live in [your city] and I am [your age]. I’m calling because I am
very concerned about the immigration bill that the Senate will vote on this
week. The most important thing the Senator must remember is to "keep our
families together.” (I added...support the rights of all immigrants to explain more what i'm talking about)
