Urge Senators to Act on COVID-19 Relief that Includes Immigrants and Refugees
Justice for Immigrants Colleagues,
We as a country continue in our struggle against COVID-19 and stand by all who are impacted during this difficult time. Many of the people who are working in jobs deemed essential - including in agriculture, package delivery, food processing, and in medical care - are immigrants and refugees. They work long hours to ensure that you can put food on your table, receive your mail and online deliveries, and provide high level healthcare. They need to be protected. While there have been several legislative efforts to help our country address COVID-19, immigrants and refugees have largely been excluded from this assistance. We must do more to ensure that no one is left behind and that everyone is safe.
We note the House's efforts to move additional COVID-19 support to the country through the HEROES Act and we now urge the Senate to move forward with legislation. It is vital that you reach out to your Senators and urge them to move forward with legislation that will assist those most in need.
What you can do to support immigrants and refugees:
- Please fill out our action alert to let your Senator know that protections for immigrants and refugees need to be included in the next COVID-19 relief package.
- Use these talking points when engaging your Senators, whose support is needed to pass further life-saving legislation.
- Visit the Justice for Immigrant's Coronavirus resource page to learn more about COVID-19's migration impact and the ways in which you can help.
- Set time aside to pray the Rosary for Vulnerable Migrant Populations.
During this difficult time immigrants and refugees need your support in the effort to ensure passage of further, much needed, COVID-19 relief. Please feel free to reach out to Tony Cube should have you have any questions at [email protected].
