Welcome to the first post of the MIRA Coalition blog! We hope the MIRA blog will provide a new and interactive format for communicating thoughtful analysis and important information to MIRA members, policymakers, and any other organization or individual interested in learning more about immigration and related topics.
With a new administration in the nation's capitol, difficult economic times, and new leadership at the Massachusetts State House, it is as important as ever to have a powerful and unified voice advocating for the rights and opportunities of all immigrants and refugees. To that end, MIRA recently released its 2009 State Advocacy Agenda, which incorporated results from a memberships survey, one-on-one interviews with members, and other feedback channels to determine the final list of priorities. Our 2009 Federal Advocacy Agenda will follow shortly.
Please keep up with the MIRA blog as we provide regular updates and analysis of current events and policies that impact immigrant and refugee communities, and spotlight some of the incredible work being done by MIRA's member organizations. If you have a question, a suggestion for a potential blog post topic, or a blog post you would like to publish on the MIRA blog, please send an e-mail to miracoblog@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
