Dear friends,
Did you hear the one about the white supremacist and the anti-immigrant
lobbyist traveling to Washington D.C. to visit elected officials?
Sadly, it's not a joke.
>From April 23-27, this country's largest anti-immigrant lobby-the
Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)-will be in our
nation's capitol convincing elected officials that the road to
immigration reform lies in a gutter filled with racism and bigotry.
Let's make sure that when FAIR arrives in Washington D.C., U.S.
Congressional members ask its members and leaders why the organization
continues to brazenly associate with white supremacist leaders and
organizations.
The Center for New Community is asking you and/or your organization to
take one simple step that will show FAIR that its agenda is not a
joking matter.
Take just a minute to visit www.buildingdemocracy.org and click on the
"Hold FAIR's Feet to the Fire" link.
At www.buildingdemocracy.org you will find short and simple steps on
how you can help members of Congress understand the real bigoted
history behind the Federation for American Immigration Reform, and its
aggressive agenda to curtail the civil and human rights of immigrants..
Across the country immigrant, civil and human rights organizations have
begun to hold FAIR accountable for its ties to white supremacists.
Now it's our turn to put FAIR's feet to the fire!
Warm regards,
Eric Ward
