Act now to urge Congress to create path to permanent legal status for 3.6 million Dreamers Discussing this week’s National Migration Week 2022, Bishop Mario Dorsonville, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Migration, stated, “This week provides a special opportunity for encounter, accompaniment, and prayer, as well as a chance for Catholics and others of good will to join together in support of those who depend on our collective voice.” Among those depending on our voice are 3.6 million Dreamers—those brought to the U.S. as children who know only this country as their home but lack access to permanent legal status. Please act now on a USCCB alert to urge Congress to create a path to permanent legal status for Dreamers today. A pre-written message from USCCB is ready for you to edit or send.
