Friday Feature: Immigration

Given that today is May Day (and also International Workers' Day), this week's Friday Feature will bring attention to the necessity and importance of immigration reform.  May Day marches in support of this effort are occurring across the country today, from Los Angeles to Orlando.  NDN has been a long-time supporter of this cause, and just yesterday, Simon was featured on the front page of the Huffington Post with an essay he wrote called "Making the Case: 7 Reasons Why Congress Should Pass Immigration Reform This Year."
