If you can't come in but want to help, please do the following:

Message from Alfonso:
For the past three years I have been fighting my deportation but now I am at the end of that fight and I am being told I must leave the United States by September 27. I cannot think about being separated from my wife and children.
I have worked hard for the last 20 years to be a good husband and father to my children. I am scared that my children will not have a father to love them and walk with them through life's celebrations and challenges.
Tucson, Arizona is our home. This is where my wife is and the only home my children have ever known. I don't want to be separated from them. I want to continue living my life in this country and I want to contribute back. I am not a criminal. I am a husband, a father, a hard worker. I am a human being.
