Friend, More than five million undocumented people are essential workers, all of whom have been on the front lines keeping our country and communities safe, healthy, cared for, and fed. They’ve exposed themselves and their loved ones to COVID-19, and as a consequence they have disproportionately experienced illnesses and deaths wrought by the coronavirus. This is unjust. Will you take action? Our many sacred traditions teach us that we are all bound together, and that we are only as healthy, as safe, and as free as our neighbors. Congress has a moral imperative to acknowledge their contributions and provide a pathway to citizenship for essential workers and their families. |
