Organizing for America - Let's Pass the DREAM Act

Two months ago I wrote about my disappointment with Organizing for America (OFA) for not including immigration on their agenda, even after President Obama reaffirmed his commitment to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Now that the debate on immigration has heated up thanks to the controversial law in Arizona, the upcoming political pressure from the Partnership for a New American Economy, and the recent President's address on immigration, OFA has finally added immigration in their Agenda.

Mayors and CEOs Join the Fight for Immigration Reform

"Our current immigration policy is national suicide. We're organizing to change it," said Mike Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York and owner of Bloomberg LP, the world’s leading financial news and information company.

To address this, Bloomberg has launched the Partnership for a New American Economy, a powerful coalition of mayors and business leaders who will advocate for an overhaul of the nation's immigration policy. The Partnership intends to run a major campaign similar to what Organizing for America (OFA) did during the health care debate, but has failed to do towards fixing our current immigration system.
