LITTLE ROCK, AR --The Arkansas Hispanic Democratic leadership called on its members and several Hispanic community leaders to agree on a plan to support immigration reform.



Special guest Jose Gomez, Arkansas Director of Reform Immigration PRO America shared the latest national advances.



During the meeting attendees shared ideas to instigate the active participation of the state's immigrant population. An effort placed on attracting young people of Arkansas to help pass the message of the importance of immigration reform for family and friends.



Gomez says Arkansas' support is crucial to getting national immigration reform.



At a national level more that 400 organizations have already joined the effort.



The Campaign to Reform Immigration for America is a united national effort that brings together individuals and grassroots organizations with the mission to build support for workable comprehensive immigration reform. The Campaign to Reform Immigration for America is, in part, a project of the Tides Advocacy Fund.



The campaign connects people from communities across the country who are ready to work together towards achieving the 279 votes needed to win just and humane comprehensive immigration reform legislation: 218 votes in the House of Representatives, 60 votes in the Senate, and one signature from the President.



The organization is working especially hard with advocates and leaders from faith communities, small business owners, unions and labor advocates; and community-based civil rights, human rights, and immigrant-serving groups.
