LIFTING LATINO VOICES:
A COMMUNITY DIALOGUE ON IMMIGRATION POLICY
February 11, 2013
 The role of Latinos in the 2012 elections has opened the door for a new 
national conversation on immigration reform.  This opening could herald an 
opportunity to bring about sensible, humane, and effective immigration 
policies.  However, we need to make sure that the perspectives of immigrant 
communities are taken into account as debate over immigration reform heats up.  
It is also critically important that community leaders from around the country 
are exposed to the best, most informed analysis as they formulate local 
campaigns and engage at the national level.  As a step toward reaching those 
goals, NALACC is organizing a forum in Washington DC where community 
organizations and leaders can share ideas, strategies and analysis. NALACC 
Member organizations will participate from at least the following states: 
California, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Nevada, Nebraska, Florida, North 
Carolina, Wisconsin and Texas.  We welcome the opportunity
 to connect with partners and allies in DC and around the United States.
