the ACLU's 9 model policies as a direct result of your local efforts. <strong><b><font

the same survey, you told us that one barrier to achieving wins was figuring
out how to work with other People Power activists in your community, and as a
result, some of you are facing uncertainty around next steps to take in your
local campaign. That’s why we want to invite all Freedom Cities activists to
a nationwide online meet-up where you can connect with other activists around
you and share tactics and strategies:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

activists have been using to communicate with each other. Once you’re online,
we’ll make sure that you’ve been joined into your local city, county, and
statewide channels. The meeting will give you a chance to talk to others in

on other statewide immigration advocacy that has been prioritized in your
