 (No Ratings Yet) Rep. Frank confirmed yesterday that a markup of ENDA will take place “this week or next,” followed quickly by a House vote. I’ll do a liveblog on Bilerico.com when that happens. If you’re from the South, you’ve got a better chance than anyone else in this country to move the vote on ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Call these 13 likely ENDA supporters who haven’t yet publicly confirmed one way or the other. They hail from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. You can click here to email them, but a call is way better. If you have friends in the South, please send this to them. Names, district maps and sample script here: http://bit.ly/ct305N

 Hello all, Tom Tierney (an activist with Out4Immigration) and I have put together a plan (C=IIR) for grassroots activists to promote UAFA and to rally support for its inclusion in Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR). UAFA (The Uniting American Families Act) will allow Americans with foreign-born partners to sponsor them for a green card, essentially creating an “immigration domestic partnership” status. CIR will correct an inhumane immigration system for all. Together they will end suffering for millions. We are working in close coordination with both Out4Immigration and Immigration Equality, as well as other groups. Now all we need is a groundswell of activists. It’s all described in detail in this document: READ PLAN at: http://tinyurl.com/CIIR2010-TenStatePlan If you live in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois OR New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington – you’re in one of the 10 target states (there’s lots of info here for you). If you are involved in the marriage equality struggle – this has the same opposition (and we’re focusing on that on page 6). If you are an activist – we have roughly 600,000 LGBT youth and adult immigrants harshly affected by the current system, and over 36,000 LGBT Americans in bi-national couples who live in great uncertainty, most afraid to even speak up for fear of arrest or forced separation. If you have a voice – these are our voiceless and our minorities – and they need one. With this plan, activists anywhere can act individually, with local groups, or in coordination with us. However you choose, please let us know of your success (and any resistance you encounter). Please take a look at the plan, share this, and Join us on facebook at: http://tinyurl.com/CIIRonFB The Immigration Community has declared that 2010 is their year. We plan to arrive together. Rising UP! Tif p.s. Monitor and report OUR progress on UAFA with ActonPriniciples at: http://tinyurl.com/CIIR2010-TenStatePlan
