[image: Coalition on Human Needs] [image: NILC logo] [image: APIAHF logo] [image: NCLR logo] *As our country moves into a time of new opportunities, let's urge our leaders to stand up for the just treatment of immigrant communities* *Organizations: Please Remember to Sign Letter to Congress<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=mOc4dAOaPYu1OGskOS0zO03pqF9GqAhw> ** * *Deadline has been extended to Thursday, November 13* Many advocates working to improve the social safety-net have been saddened by the negative targeting of immigrants in Congressional debate, doubly harmful when the targeting results in burdensome requirements that jeopardize eligible beneficiaries' access to services. These restrictive policies are a disservice to our communities and have broad unintended consequences, such as threatening loss of health benefits of poor seniors who cannot assemble documents proving their citizenship. For more information on how this has played out in 2007 and 2008, see the one-page backgrounder<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=S45KkpSErvf7unN0xY2GQk3pqF9GqAhw>: http://www.chn.org/pdf/2008/imigrestrictions.pdf<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Dgz4d5nRfe%2Fozw%2F0lHJEek3pqF9GqAhw> . Soon our country will have a new Congress and it is important that Members understand the harmful effects to these restrictive policies. Therefore, we are distributing an organizational *sign-on letter*<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=iefQ4xe%2FWfrtfVEfJk87sU3pqF9GqAhw> protesting the recent attacks and asking Members of Congress to stop playing politics with the lives of immigrants and other vulnerable low-income people. Anti-immigrant voices, relatively small in number but loud, are too often the only voices heard by Senators and Representatives. *Please help us to create a stronger voice for fairness, effectiveness, and integrity in federal legislation affecting immigrants by adding your organization's name to this letter<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ppIfTXz5dnIK%2B%2F09o1Iesk3pqF9GqAhw>. * *You can view and add your organization's name to the letter here<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Fvx6l674Z4mX5MFnvNIkE03pqF9GqAhw> :* http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/125/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1713<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7eJZf%2BPEpg0%2B0xCX6W5mIU3pqF9GqAhw> *.* Click here<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=U4ysSN%2B1blteiaa63ZNzQk3pqF9GqAhw>for a printer-friendly copy of the letter. * * Thank you! ========================== *Please forward this e-mail!* Do not reply to this email.
