Dear Friend:

Over the past year, we’ve seen what we can accomplish by working together, and it’s an inspiring sight.

In spite of a deep economic recession – one that has disproportionately affected the low-income Latino and immigrant community – at CASA de Maryland we have cause to celebrate. This past year we placed workers in nearly 19,000 jobs statewide. One hundred and forty-five new Americans became U.S. citizens, and over 1,700 opened their first bank accounts. We also took major steps in building power for low-income Latinos – by creating a sister 501(c)(4) organization, CASA in Action, and by launching our membership program. To date we are more than 6,000 members strong and growing.

We celebrated our 25th anniversary with the opening of our new Multicultural Center in Langley Park in June 2010. Our new home, once the mansion of a wealthy immigrant family, is now the hub of community activity in Langley Park, a neighborhood whose residents continue to face poverty and crime with a staunch determination to create a brighter future for their children. Our pledge is to work together with you and the broader community to ensure that as economic development is focused on Langley Park, its families have opportunities, access, and ownership in their neighborhood.

At CASA we are committed to creating strong, economically and ethnically diverse communities in which all people can participate and benefit fully. We believe that by working together, we can create a society which celebrates diversity, embodies justice, and fights for equality.

We know we have an uphill battle. Unemployment persists, economic recovery has been slow, and too often immigrants are used as the scapegoats for others’ misfortunes. But where there are challenges, there are also opportunities. We are more dedicated than ever to our goal of maintaining a dialogue in which dignity and respect prevail, and in which hatred and fear have no place. Our charge is to continue working together to create a brighter, more equitable, and more promising future for our families, our communities, our state, and our nation. Sí se puede.

In solidarity,

Gustavo Torres Peter ShirasExecutive Director Board President

Mercedes first became interested in construction while working as an assistant in her husband’s small construction company. Although most of her previous experience was in childcare and cleaning, when economic difficulties forced the business to downsize, Mercedes signed up for CASA’s Building Maintenance and Engineer certification course. Now Mercedes is no longer an employee, but a partner in the family business. Mercedes performs carpentry and painting, manages the inventory, and she and her husband make business decisions jointly.

Jorge Sactic-España fled war-torn Guatemala in 1985 and opened Chapina Bakery in Langley Park’s La Union Mall in 2004. He is now the area’s unofficial mayor, taking time away from his business to assist new arrivals as they adjust to life in the U.S. When proposed transit developments threatened to displace Langley Park’s low-income immigrant residents and small businesses, Jorge joined CASA’s Fair Development Campaign as a key partner and supporter.

CASA, coalition partners, and policymakers are working to craft a Community Benefits Agreement that calls for the creation of a community health clinic in Langley Park, protections to preserve affordable housing, small business preservation policies, and local hire requirements.

Under ICE’s “Secure Communities” program, many immigrants charged with, but not necessarily convicted of, nonviolent offenses have found themselves in immigration detention. Cooperation agreements between ICE and local police are becoming increasingly prominent in the absence of an adequate national immigration policy, resulting in a reign of terror against immigrants and the destruction of trust in local communities.

CASA is effectively challenging these policies through a strategy that includes: legal assistance and counseling for victims, a grassroots “know your rights” campaign, legal challenges to civil rights violations, and organizing committees of CASA members to run grassroots campaigns that challenge cooperation agreements at the local level and prevent them from passing at the state level.

When Florinda was arrested in her home by Prince George’s County Police and charged with selling phone cards without a license, her young children (ages 13 months and 5 years) looked on in fear. Given her very minor charges, Florinda believed she would be released shortly and could resume caring for her children. However, because of an agreement between Prince George’s County and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), she was immediately transferred to the custody of ICE agents and deportation proceedings were initiated. CASA helped Florinda secure pro-bono legal counsel who is representing her in deportation proceedings.

Together we’re leaders, not victims.

Victories:

On March 11, 2010, at the very moment that CASA’s Executive Director and other leaders were meeting with President Obama to discuss comprehensive immigration reform, immigration raids were occurring in Maryland’s Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties. CASA immediately sent a raid response team to collect information and provide assistance to victims. Within 12 hours, CASA held a press conference in front of the White House criticizing the Administration for the action, and successfully advocated for the release of the majority of the detainees, all while building momentum for a massive national mobilization on March 21.

Reflecting the size and political maturity of the hundreds of thousands of Latino and immigrant voters in the state, in January 2010 CASA de Maryland launched a 501(c)(4) partner, CASA in Action. CASA in Action facilitates greater electoral and campaign engagement by Latinos and immigrants in Maryland by focusing uncompromisingly on providing political education to Latinos and getting them to the polls. More than 6,000 members strong, CASA in Action anticipates recruiting an additional 10,000 members this coming year.

Meet our new sister organization – CASA in Action!

CASA in Action’s members care about problems com-mon to working people across the state – how safe is it to walk down the street, how affordable is their housing, how effective are schools at educating their children. Immigration is the primary civil rights issue for Latinos and immigrants in our community, and the underlying racism apparent in the immigration debate directly affects how immigrants feel they are valued by the broader society.

CASA in Action’s FocusAs a related but separate organization from CASA de Maryland, CASA in Action is able to engage in educational activities and legislative and political advocacy in excess of what CASA de Maryland, as a 501(c)(3), is permitted to do. CASA in Action focuses on building political power in low-income communities, increasing the number of elected officials who represent the priorities of Maryland’s Latinos, and fighting for justice. Its goal is nothing less than a change in the status quo throughout Maryland.

In the 2010 election season, CASA in Action engaged voters through political debates, questionnaires to candidates, and candidate endorsements, Spanish-language earned media, voter registration, and Get-Out-The- Vote activities in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties and parts of Baltimore City and County.

89% of CASA in Action’s endorsed candidates won their primary and general elections.CASA in Action contacted more than 70,000 Latino and immigrant voters in 2010 elections.

Several of CASA in Action-backed candidates in highly contested primary races credited their victories to Latino and immigrant voters.
