USHLI will be sponsoring a Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) Action Rally during our 28th national conference. The CIR Action Rally will be held from 8:30-10:30am, Friday, February 19, immediately following our Latinos and Labor Unity Breakfast.
Ali Noorani and a powerful lineup of some of the nation's leading advocates for immigration reform will be leading Action Rally participants in using their cell phones to make 10,000 calls or send text messages to strategically selected members of Congress, urging them to pass comprehensive immigration reform now!

Speaking at our Action Rally will be the United Farm Workers Union President Arturo Rodriguez, National Rainbow/PUSH Coalition President the Rev. Jesse Jackson, SEIU Int'l Executive Vice President Eliseo Medina, UFCW Director of Civil and Human Rights Esther Lopez, NEA Senior Liaison for the Office of Governance and Policy Rita Jaramillo, AFT Senior Advisor for Civil and Human Rights Cesar Moreno, and National Coalition for Black Civic Participation Melanie Campbell.
