Bus to Washington
For the third year, Centro Campesino organized a bus with over 30 members and allies to go and lobby our congressmen in Washington D.C. On April 27 we joined many other organizations on a national lobby day for fair immigration reform.
We conducted meetings with our eight representatives in Washington and our two senators. We urged them to support and promote a fair and just immigration reform; at the same time, we asked them not to support the REAL ID Act, which will affect all immigrants and average citizens as well.
