Will you host a Valentine’s Party Fundraiser for Immigration Equality?

Valentine’s Day can be a difficult time for binational families being torn apart under the current immigration laws. Our annual Valentine’s campaign seeks to turn the harm from that injustice into action, highlighting the symbolism of the holiday for binational families. Will you host a Valentine’s event for us?

Last year’s ten parties spanned three continents, generated hundreds of actions, and raised over $20,000. Events ranged from champagne brunches and glitzy soirees to intimate dinner parties and cozy pot lucks to house boat bar nights. This year our goal is to find 20 hosts that raise $25,000 collectively. With your help, our 2011 Valentine’s Day campaign can:

1. Inspire and empower new supporters to take action for UAFA
2. Deepen and expand support of UAFA by inviting Members of Congress
3. Raise money and critical resources we need to win.

We will provide everything you'll need for success: our house party tool kit, a regular check-in with our national headquarters, an invitation to your Member of Congress, our DVD showcasing binational couples' stories, and a slideshow of binational family factoids.

For details about our worldwide campaign, interested hosts should contact Win Chesson, Associate Director of Development, at win (at) imeqactionfund.org.
