Oct. 27 GCIR Webinar: Gearing Up For The Immigration Reform Debate

Tuesday, October 27th, 11:00 A.M. – 12:00 Noon Pacific Time

Given the challenges of moving health care reform forward, implementing a strong and broad-based field strategy for immigration reform has become vital. Immigrant rights advocates, lawmakers, and other key stakeholders have been meeting around the country to discuss the principles that will guide the drafting of immigration reform legislation this fall.

Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refuges (GCIR) invites you to participate in a  webinar to hear about this series of policy meetings, learn about the questions that are being raised, and the strategies and tactics that are being debated. How can your grantees become involved in this nationally coordinated field strategy? What makes sense for local funders to support at this point in the debate and over the next six to eight months? Discuss these questions and more on the next GCIR policy webinar.

Speakers:
• Cynthia Buiza, Director of Policy and Advocay, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA)
• Angela Kelly, Vice President for Immigration Policy and Advocacy, Center for American Progress

Moderator:
• Rebecca Rittgers, Programme Executive, Atlantic Philanthropies and GCIR Board Member
