Project Letters

Thank you so much for supporting Proyecto Cartas also known as Project Letters. We are very happy with the results. I was at a press conference in East Phoenix at the Main Post Office and personally observed 10,000 letters going out all at the same time!!! It was fantastic. I had other volunteers in West Phoenix that exceeded that number at 13,000 letters that went out from a Postal Service there.

We had volunteers calling from Tucson, Arizona that launched hundreds from individuals that served as collection centers. There were thousands that went out from Tucson, Lake Havasu, Bullhead City, Prescott, Flagstaff. Unbelievable!!! Remember that isn't counting your efforts and all those from LA, San Diego, Frisco, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and the list goes on. There had to be 40-50,00 out of Arizona alone. Oh, Nayarit, Mexico reported 3,500. We had been promoting it globally as well through international radio stations. Imagine....all those letters all going out on the same day. Abraham Lincoln's birth date and all asking for Immigration Reform in order to allow our people to come out of the shadows.

I feel so good about our efforts!!! I am fatigued, but it was all worth it!!!

What's next? Well I announced to the press on Thursday that we would be writing letters to the Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder asking for an investigation of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's racial profiling, violation of citizen's rights and violation of human rights.

I will keep you appraised of our new movement.
