Dear John,
We had our second major victory on our campaign to protect green card diversity. Yesterday, Senator Durbin (D-IL) introduced his “RELIEF Act”, an alternative bill to H.R. 1044/S. 386. The "RELIEF Act" takes a balanced approach to addressing the green card backlog--expanding the overall number of green cards available and protecting the diversity of the green card process while removing the per country caps in a way that prevents negative repercussions for our community. Unlike S.386, the “RELIEF Act” does not offer a zero-sum approach that prioritizes one group of immigrants to the exclusion of all others.
NIAC Action has organized another coalition letter [[link removed]] with 10 immigrant organizations in support of the RELIEF Act and we plan on gathering more support. But in addition to organizational support, we need community support--and that’s where you come in.
Take Action! [[link removed]]
The Senate needs to hear from us loud and clear that if they want to protect green card diversity, they must support the “Relief Act”. Sign our action alert [[link removed]] and call your senators [[link removed]] today to make sure we build the power needed to win.
In solidarity,
Donna Farvard
