On June 6, 2013, we’re convening YWCA local associations, immigration reform activists and our national partners to call on Capitol Hill for the passage of comprehensive, common-sense reform with a focus on women, girls and immigrant communities. We’re calling it: “What Women Want: A National Day of Action for Immigration Reform.”
To get ready, read our What Women Want blog carnival, which focused on this question:
What do immigrant women need the most from comprehensive reform?
