Busy Week for NDN Hispanic Programs

Friends, it has been a busy week for NDN's Hispanic Programs.  Today, NDN released a statement congratulating Sen. Rockefeller for introducing an amendment to the Children's Health Insurance Program that eliminates a five year wait for legal immigrant children to receive care.

You can check out Simon's thoughts on this debate on our blog. 

Additionally, in case you missed it, NDN issued a statement on Monday regarding President Calderon's visit, and we have begun a new feature on our blog - the Weekly Update on Immigration, which provides analysis of the week's most relevant news in the area of immigration in the U.S. and Mexico. 

Lastly, NDN will be participating in several events during the week of inauguration.   Andres and Simon will be sharing their insight into the demographic transformation of the United States and the role of the Latino electorate at the "Latino Political Training Day,"  being held for organizers and activist from over 20 different states in order to keep the momentum of Latino civic participation from the elections going.  Simon will also speak on Latinos and the Economy during the morning session of the Latino State of the Union event hosted by NCLR.  We hope you can join us at these important events.
