Hey Friend --

Today and tomorrow, a group made up of over 600 leaders from over 50 congressional districts across the country are coming together in Washington D.C. to make a real impact on moving immigration reform forward.

Participants will have the opportunity to meet with members of Congress and their staff, network with conservative leaders, engage with media, and mobilize their own communities online to make the case for meaningful reform.

By sharing their unique stories about why immigration reform is important to them and their communities on the nation's capital, they'll make clear that fixing our broken immigration system must be a top legislative priority.

Help spread the word online about this important event for immigration reform:

People like Jesus Loya, a 29-year-old immigrant from Salt Lake City, are coming to D.C. to share their personal stories with Congress. Jesus graduated with honors from the University of Utah and now manages a network of 74 private investors focused in early-stage venture capital in Utah. Everyday he gets to facilitate the hopes and dreams of entrepreneurs who create private sector jobs and grow our economy.

As he has said, "I feel compelled to share [my story] on behalf of the millions of aspiring young Americans, like me, who want to give back to the only country they know and love."

Congress needs to hear these stories to know that Americans believe now is the time for meaningful immigration reform.

Spread the word about today and tomorrow's events.

Thanks,
