ICIRR Alert
Tell Congress to Reject Hatred, Reject FAIR
Anti-Immigrant Group Now Lobbying on Capitol Hill
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is now conducting a lobbying effort in Washington DC to push its anti-immigrant agenda. FAIR and similar groups have used messages of fear and hatred to push for further restrictions on immigration and the rights of immigrants. FAIR is feeling particularly emboldened now that proposals like the REAL ID Act are moving forward in Congress. FAIR has well-documented ties to white supremacists and other hate groups (as compiled in this report by the Center for New Community). We need to make our voices heard so that Congress does not hear only from FAIR.
***TAKE ACTION NOW!***
Please take a moment to urge your US Senators and Representative to reject FAIR’s message of bigotry and hatred, and to support real immigration reforms (like the upcoming McCain-Kennedy bill) that will keep families together, treat immigrants and refugees with respect, and uphold our values as a nation. You can send a message by using the TAKE ACTION section of ICIRR’s website, http://www.icirr.org/. Thanks!
For more information, please call the
