Learn more about Progress by Pesach, a national campaign asking people around the country to send a clear message to President Obama and Congress that the American Jewish community wants humanitarian immigration reform, and not raids, in 2009. Most notably, we are trying to collect 10,000 signatures on a petition that will be delivered to President Obama and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano on April 2nd.
