Action item: Opportunity to get your story with the press/media

[Administrator2]

Most of us are experiencing increased level to anxiety due to the recent economic slowdown and the green card delays.

Here is an opportunity for you to speak with a reporter to tell your story. You maybe feeling increased level of stree/anxiety due to economic downturn and maybe you are feeling that you may lose your job or maybe you have lost your job recently. Or if you are consdsidering leaving US or maybe feeling excessive pressure because you are worried about your family, home and mortgage.

If you would like to speak with a reporter to tell your strory, please email us your brief story along with a number to reach you. We will forward your story to the reporter and the reporter may call and speak with you.

Email address: info@immigrationvoice.org

We believe that this media opportunity will help us to highlight our issues.

Thanks,

IV Team


Please help us to bump this thread as we are working on a short deadline.

Personally, I do not have a compelling/qualifying story for the context/content you have mentioned. I am going to speculate here as to why you may not have gotten many responses from people. Fear/apprehension. Will the reporter quote the real name of the person who is providing the story ? Can the name be made 'generic' like Ram from Cleveland or Jack from Kansas or Liping from New York city in the story ?

Comeon guys we all have a story to tell. This is an opportunity to make them realise that even after being a superpower we are still lacking in legal immigration delays.

If we are scared of our names then we are worse than uneducated illegals. They at least have the guts to walk openly on the streets in protest.

If people are scared of their names getting public, then whats the point of doing IV effort?

All action items and ideas are useless if people do not want to seize the opportunity that knocks on our door.

I see several posts from people asking IV to contact media and get things published. Well we reach out to media but how many people come forward to talk to media?

We need to stop discussing about pizzas and help out in real action items.

This is I think is a perennial problem. Nobody will hunt you if you tell your story in the press. Trust me. I've been there and nothing has happened for I got my green card ultimately. This country is too big hearted to harass someone for narrating their personal tale.

Go for it ..........................You may have a nice clipping for your grandchildren!

Is it too late for this? Are you still looking for people for this?
