And IMMIGRATION is sure to be on that agenda. Prior to the Forum, there will be a press conference on the Hill, where Rep. Luis Gutierrez will push immigration to the forefront of the country's political landscape, and ask the new Congress and new Administration for an immediate moratorium on the raids and a renewed effort for comprehensive immigration reform. In the afternoon, Rep. Gutierrez will join "Realizing the Promise" to engage in more dialogue around these demands.

This is truly a historic moment in our Nation's history and YOU can participate. Tomorrow, visit http://www.realizingthepromise.org/ from 3PM to 6PM to watch the entire event LIVE on our WEBCAST. We will be live-blogging the event at Standing FIRM, so be sure to check back for that too.
Bloggers, get your mental gears in order.

Fellow dreamers, get ready to give your input.

Wow I saw most of that conference. Immigration reform was definitely the most discussed topic. The dream act was briefly mentioned as well, 2009 is looking good.

well i take it back it wasn't really discussed it was mentioned briefly to loud positive reaction from the crowd by U.S Rep Chris Van Hollen (Maryland). But Immigration Reform was discussed intensively. Valerie Jarrett Senior Adviser to Pres-elect Obama along with a few House reps and top ranking community organizers were present.
