Lobby Day - A Big Success


So here it is - hot off the press, live update from the frontline. My sources tell me that the lobby day was a huge success. Hundreds of IV volunteers from different backgrounds and countries came together and met with their Congressman/Congresswoman/Senators/Senior Congressional staffers in over 110 meetings in a single day. This is a stupendous achievement for Immigration Voice as an organization and a testimonial to the dedication and invlovement of all the volunteers.

Immigration Voice was successful in bringing our issues to the attention of the movers and shakers in the nation's capital. We got a big support and boost for our efforts and goals from these meetings.


Although, this day was made successful by the efforts of everyone involved, a particular group, a group of amazing women, the IV superheroes deserve a special mention. Kanika, Meenal, Sumita and Vandana were the superheroes behind today's success. We have a picture of Meenal, Sumita and Vandana in the situation room here. Kanika is most likely setting up meetings on her laptop while taking care of her kids. Hats off to them and a big heartfelt thanks from the community of legal, skilled immigrants.
