So make a plan with your family to have fun together and advocate for immigrant families &#8211; and send in pictures of your family together, talking, playing a game or calling. The pictures will be added to a national United Methodist journal.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nAdditional information<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Currently the dialogue about immigration reform is being held in the senate, so the focus is on contacting senators.
