GOAL
The goal of the Immigration Team is to support a statewide strategy that focuses on two components: first, awareness and passage of Comprehensive Immigration Reform; and second, on a local level, honoring and promoting awareness of different ethnic and cultural groups so that we can all live in harmony with our neighbors.

OBJECTIVES
Objective One of the Immigration Team is to create an Ohio Immigration Taskforce to define the statewide strategy. The taskforce will be comprised of diverse individuals, including Hispanic/Latino faith-based leaders, who will work in synergy with religious and social organizations committed to this mandate.

Objective Two of the Immigration Team is for the Ohio Immigration Taskforce to solicit funds and hire a taskforce coordinator by April, 2011. The taskforce coordinator will be responsible for promoting multi-cultural awareness on a grass roots level, communicating our goals to government leaders, and bringing social awareness and visibility to these pressing issues.
