John,

It’s been 38 years since we last passed meaningful, positive immigration reforms — and it’s past time for an update. Americans want leaders who will prioritize working together on finding solutions and passing reforms, not leaders who lead with divisive rhetoric.

That’s why we recently launched "A Better Way Forward: 2024 Immigration Principles," which reflect our deeply rooted values as a nation. These principles should guide any leader working toward creating an orderly, secure and humane immigration system. 

Show your support for a conversation around immigration that unifies rather than divides, and for Congress to pass the solutions Americans need and want.

Then, watch the following videos:

• Chief Ramon Batista of the Santa Monica, California, Police Department emphasizes the need to preserve federal leadership in setting immigration policy.
• Pastor Eric Costanzo of South Tulsa Baptist Church in Oklahoma highlights how his community welcomes immigrants.
• Forum President and CEO Jennie Murray introduces each of the six principles and their importance to our immigration conversation.

Add your name to show your support for these principles and for leaders from across the political spectrum to come together and work on finding solutions based on our values, not divisive rhetoric.

With your support, we can continue to push for immigration solutions that reflect our American values.

Thank you,

Becka Wall
