We are at a very pivotal moment in our fight for a pathway to citizenship, Friend. Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives stripped citizenship from the House’s Build Back Better bill, and unfortunately, Congress adjourned soon after.

Though this is a temporary setback, it’s not the end of our fight. In fact, NILC and our partners have outlined how Senate Democrats can still win on immigration. Read our memo to Congress.

Now more than ever, your members of Congress need to hear from you. Join us in calling on Senate Democrats to deliver citizenship for millions of immigrants.

Delivering a pathway to citizenship is still possible despite the Senate parliamentarian advising against including it in this piece of legislation. Senate Democrats must use their power under Senate rules to override the parliamentarian's arbitrary decision and enact permanent relief for millions of immigrants who call our country home.

Friend, tell your senators not to squander this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We need citizenship now.

The urgency of this moment calls for more than excuses and watered-down half-measures. There is no equitable recovery without immigrants. It’s time to deliver.

Thanks for being in this fight!
