Gulf Coast Immigration Attorneys Go To Washington April 11 is the National Day of Action (NDA), an event sponsored by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). On the National Day of Action, hundreds of AILA members from around the country will descend on Washington, D.C. to meet with their congressmen and senators. The purpose of NDA is for AILA members to meet personally with congressional leaders to advocate for immigration policies and reform. “Sometimes our congressmen are receptive, and sometimes they are not,” said Stanley Walker, AILA member with Southern Star Immigration in Ft. Walton Beach, Fla. “One of our goals is to present our local congressmen with as many personal letters as possible to show them that immigration advocacy and reform are important issues that you care about.” Walkers, who will be one of the lawyers attending the NDA next month, is asking Gulf Coast residents to a letter their respective congressmen to tell them about personal experiences. Letters should be short (no longer than half a page) and should include the writer’s name and city so that it can be delivered to the right congressman. He adds that if the writer is a United States citizen and a registered voter, it would be helpful to mention that. Letters can discuss something positive or negative you have experienced with our immigration system, or can simply state a desire for more effective immigration laws and comprehensive immigration reform. While there, Walker will meet with Congressman Jeff Miller and other congressional leaders from Florida and Alabama. In support of Walker’s endeavor representing the Gulf Coast, La Costa Latina is asking readers to provide him with as many letters of support as possible. Letters may be sent via email to Walker at stan@southernstarimmigration.com or to La Costa Latina at news@latinomediainc.com. Letters may also be dropped off or mailed to La Costa Latina Hispanic Resource Center, 5465 N. Pensacola Blvd., Pensacola, FL 32591. Thank you and please take 5 minutes to write your letter and send it right now! |
