John,
In October, you might remember that I, along with members of the Forum
staff and the We Welcome team, visited El Paso and Ciudad Juarez to
deepen our understanding of how policies and narratives surrounding the
border shape the lives of people who live there. (If you missed the
email, you can read my reflection piece **here**
<[link removed]>.)
Our conversations with the migrants, aid workers, faith leaders, and law
enforcement officials who collectively make up the binational,
multicultural region of Juarez and El Paso made one thing clear above
all: for border communities, immigrants, and the American economy to
flourish, we need meaningful, bipartisan immigration reform.
Spending time in El Paso and Juarez deepened my understanding of how
policies and narratives surrounding the border shape the lived
experience of people who live there and the stories of those who seek a
better life in this country. Forum staff and mobilizers from around the
U.S. returned from the border to our home communities with firsthand
knowledge and a fresh perspective that enhances and strengthens our work
every day. None of this would have been possible without the support of
donors like you, John.
**So I'm asking: Will you consider making a year-end gift today to
help us reach our $50,000 year-end fundraising goal and support our
educational and advocacy efforts?**

When you donate to the National Immigration Forum, you're not just
donating to support our educational and advocacy efforts. You're
helping to advance commonsense immigration reforms and making a
difference in the lives of Dreamers, refugees, asylum seekers and their
families.
It's been 36 years (longer than I've been alive!) since Congress
passed expansive immigration reform. The status quo is not working.
**We need meaningful reforms to establish fair, humane, and orderly
systems at the border.**
**I hope you will consider making a year-end gift to the Forum. Donate
today!**

P.S. Lately, you might be seeing countless news stories about the U.S.
Southern Border, but the human stories are often left out. **Follow this
