NICE rented a bus to leave to Washington DC to participate in the Campaign Keep our Families Together, along with partner organizations from Queens 43 community members the western part of Queens left to Washington DC. It was a one day long event. We had four legislative visits scheduled, with Reps, Anthony Weiner, Joseph Crowley, Gary Ackerman, and Sent. Kristen Gillibrand. At the visits members gave testimonies of why it is urgent to pass an immigration reform. This was also to create momentum for the introduction of a progressive bill by Rep. Luis Gutierrez possibly by November. After the visits we rally along with thousands more, in front of the Capitol.
