Just a few hours ago, 68 senators voted to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

That's an impressive majority -- and it shows just how much momentum Organizing For Action volunteers have helped build across the country. We've organized more than a thousand events, made tens of thousands of calls, and helped at least one senator find the courage to support reform. Thanks, and congratulations.

But the real fight is just getting started.

Passing this bill through the House of Representatives is going to be an uphill climb.
If you want to get this done,  every single person who cares about it to double down right now.

Take a minute to celebrate this big victory today. Then let's get back to work and make history.
