Watch Party: Immigrant Leaders, Community and Allies Watch Obama Speech and Celebrate Relief for Millions
Impacted Families and Local Leaders Available for Interview
After Congress’ Failure To Pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform, President Obama Is Set To Announce Executive Action to Grant Administrative Relief To Millions Of Immigrants
Las Vegas, NV- With President Obama poised to announce changes to immigration systems, immigrant leaders, community members, elected officials, and allies will gather to celebrate a historic victory that will ensure millions of immigrant families and workers can live, work, and stay in the country they’ve called home for years. While executive action is no substitute for long overdue legislation, the President is stepping up, using well-established legal authority, and doing what he can to start making improvements.
The GOP spent this entire year saying NO to the best chance at reform in a generation, and since the summer have only lurched further to the right. The only humane option to our immigration crisis is for the President to act as soon as possible.
The Culinary Union, Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, ProgressNOW Nevada, SEIU, Nevada State AFL-CIO, and Mi Familia Vota will host a watch party of the President’s speech this FRIDAY and key leaders and impacted families will discuss what these changes will mean in their day-to-day lives.
