Help Us Get More Groups to Endorse UAFA

by Tom Tierney

FIRM/Center for Community Change endorsed the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) this week. FIRM/CCC is part of the management team of Reform Immigration for America (RI4A), the group organizing the march in DC on March 21.

This is why getting active in local Immigration organizations and telling your story is so important!

Out of the 16 groups that comprise the RI4A management team, 4 have now endorsed UAFA.

If you have connections to any of these groups or if they are near you, get in touch and get active!
