Dear Friends:
Please join the California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC) and at the state
capitol in Sacramento on Monday, May 21, 2007 for the 11th Annual Immigrant
Day, a special opportunity for immigrants and advocates from across the
state to meet with their elected officials and collectively show the
Governor and state legislators our support of vital safety net services for
immigrants and the working poor.
This year’s event, “Golden Door, Golden State” will honor the multiple ways
in which California’s immigrants strengthen our communities and our state,
as well as provide an opportunity for advocates and community members to
raise their voices on behalf of immigrant families throughout the state.

families who participate in CalWORKs. California’s legislators are debating
comprehensive reforms to our health care system.
