Los Altos Hills, CA — House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va, is scheduled to hold a high-dollar fundraiser in Silicon Valley tonight at the home of Oracle CFO, Safra Catz. Bay Area activists will picket as event guests arrive asking them to pressure Goodlatte to address House leadership’s continued stall on immigration reform despite public support for it. As House Judiciary Committee Chair, Goodlatte holds tremendous power in moving immigration reform forward – but isn’t taking any action.
Workers in Silicon Valley and throughout the Bay Area have been calling for reform – from the tech workers and entrepreneurs in the Peninsula to farm workers in the fields, workers call for reform that provides a pathway to citizenship, families to be reunited, and strong worker protections.
Will Goodlatte listen?

WHERE: Home of Oracle CFO, Safra Catz, 13113 Byrd Lane, Los Altos, Hills 94022
