The press conference was part of a series of events that took place accross the nation on the day that Congressman Luis Gutierrez announced his principles for a comprehensive immigration reform.  Speakers including Sen. Morgan Carroll, Rev. Anne Dunlap, and Youth Leader Yatzin Islas urged politicians to end their inaction and enact a comprehensive immigration reform that keeps families together and respects our shared American history as immigrants.  Community members then delivered a collaborative community mural created at the America United community forum entitled "Immigration Reform for Families" to staff members from Congressman Ed Perlmutter's office.  Members asked Perlmutter to support a just and humane immigration reform for our nations' families.  For more on the press conference please check out coverage of the event at:
