Dear John,
As Washington D.C. slowly shifts its focus to the campaign trail, the United States continues to face unprecedented levels of migration — and millions of asylum seekers remain stuck in limbo, part of a growing humanitarian crisis.
Despite the challenges ahead, the American Immigration Council’s policy and advocacy teams are confident that we will continue to make a real difference in 2024. And thanks to the Council’s comprehensive approach, we are well positioned to push for meaningful change from D.C. to Des Moines, Florida to Oregon, and a multitude of points in between.
Even in the most trying of political times, the Council has continued to make progress toward a more just immigration system and welcoming country, in Democrat- and Republican-led states alike.
John, we need your support to continue our critical work in 2024 — please donate now to help us reach our ambitious $130,000 goal by December 31 and your gift will be DOUBLED by a group of generous donors. [[link removed]]

Our achievements show that as politicians continue to demonize immigrants on the election trail and in the media, real bi-partisan progress continues across the country.
The challenges of an election year are real for our work to build a more just immigration system and welcoming nation — but with your support we will continue our progress in 2024. [[link removed]]
