Dear Friend,

TAKE ACTION TODAY: Urge Congress to support a pathway to citizenship for people who are undocumented!
Call your Senators. [LINK: [link removed]]
Call your Congressional Representative. [LINK: [link removed]]
Or email your Congressional Representatives or your Senators.

Both the House and the Senate passed a budget resolution that includes a pathway to citizenship for many people who are undocumented: Dreamers, people with Temporary Protected Status, and essential workers, including farmworker. Because a path to citizenship would have a large budgetary impact, it should and can be part of the budget reconciliation process. The benefits to our economy are enormous. Congress also has the opportunity to alleviate severe immigrant visa backlogs through reconciliation.

The Senate parliamentarian's first ruling said that immigration does not fit in the budget reconciliation bill. Democrats have a chance to try another approach now. No matter what legislative strategy is chosen, we need to keep the pressure on Congress. As the House and Senate work on the specific legislative text, they hear from us. They need to know that their constituents support immigration reforms and a path to citizenship NOW--not next year, or next session, or next century.

TAKE ACTION TODAY: Urge Congress to support a pathway to citizenship for people who are undocumented by contacting your legislators today!
