** Raise your voice to support comprehensive immigration reform!
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friend,
On Thursday, President Biden’s groundbreaking immigration reform proposal was introduced in Congress. The US Citizenship Act of 2021 would provide DACA and TPS recipients with green cards, setting them on a path to citizenship, improve the family reunification process by reducing visa backlogs, and create a pathway to earned citizenship for approximately 11 million immigrants in the country without legal status.
It has been over 30 years since Congress passed a law to reform the country’s immigration system and adjust the status of undocumented immigrants in the country. As a result, millions of hardworking families have lived in the shadows while contributing to our economy and communities.
We must make our voices heard and urge Congress to pass the US Citizenship Act of 2021 ([link removed]) . Send an email to your legislators today!
