It’s the end of Day 1 of Reform Immigration for America. An amazing diversity of voices are present at the event–migrant youth, beltway groups, bloggers, community organizers, union organizers, some lawyers*–to come together under a united front for immigration reform.

(*most immigration attorneys were missing due to the AILA conference happening at the same time in Nevada)

Here are the highlights:
