ACTION ALERT:
Stand Up to Tucker Carlson's Racist Attacks on New Way Forward Act
New Way Forward under Attack by Tucker Carlson, Trump & Hate Groups
Last night, Tucker Carlson engaged in textbook fear-mongering and declared the New Way Forward Act the most radical piece of legislation he's seen yet. To instill fear about the visionary bill, the host spewed a false, harmful, and racist narrative about our immigrant communities. Trump echoed his segment this morning, saying that the bill is never going to happen. With Trump digging in his heels, we know we're onto something...
We need to show Congress that we are behind them in supporting a New Way Forward. As you may know, New Way Forward would roll back harmful immigration laws that have led to racial profiling and disproportionately resulted in the incarceration, deportation, and destruction of families of color and immigrant communities. See a backgrounder with more info here.
Take Action!
This is our chance to resoundingly reject racist scapegoating and stand up for our values. We need your help:
1) Fight back against right wing trolls and hate groups on social media.
- Tweet in support of #NewWayForward! Sample tweets here. You can also follow @immjustice or any of our partners and RT.
2) CALL or TWEET your Representative TODAY and tell them you support #NewWayForward.

Sample Call Script:
“Hi, my name is [______]. I’m your constituent from [city/town]. I urge you to stand up to Trump, and stand with immigrant communities in supporting the New Way Forward Act (H.R. 5383). This bill repairs the injustices fueling the criminalization and mass incarceration of immigrants in our country. The New Way Forward Act will keep families together, advance racial justice, and help protect humane justice for everyone, including immigrants. As your constituent, I urge you to stand with me and cosponsor the New Way Forward Act."
