On Wednesday, the Reform Immigration FOR America Campaign and an enormous coalition of faith, law enforcement, labor, civil rights, and immigrant advocacy groups brought tens of thousands of activists together for an immigration call to action with Congressman Luis Gutierrez, Congressman Raul Grijalva, and Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez. In total, more than 60,000 called in, joined house parties, or listened to live radio broadcasts as immigration reform leaders laid out plans for getting immigration reform passed in 2010.

"We can't wait any longer," said Micheline Charles, a home care provider and SEIU Healthcare Florida member who joined the call from Miami. ""We expect Congress to live up to their campaign promises and pass immigration reform once and for all." Micheline is featured in a new video SEIU has produced to put a face on the SEIU members who are fighting to overhaul our broken immigration system.

"We need everyone on this call to take action with your churches, your families and your organizations so that we can deliver a strong message to President Obama and Congress that, hey, it has been a year...[and] we want you to keep your promise to our families," said Rep. Gutierrez, after laying out details of the progressive bill he expects to introduce in December. Listen to full audio of the call here.

Differing from past years, the Reform Immigration FOR America Campaign is already building a field movement that outnumbers and outpaces the other side. Last weekend, the controversial "Tea Party" anti-immigrant activists held a meager 50 events in 26 states that they themselves acknowledged were "not drawing huge crowds."
