Friends, we have an urgent update to share:
Text of Congress’ massive year-end spending bill was released, and the deal is a slap in the face to immigrant communities.
The 2023 appropriations bill they’ll be voting on contains:
-
$15.5 billion in funding for CBP, an agency that inflicts violence on immigrants
-
NO provisions for citizenship for immigrant youth and farm workers
This is an urgent moment, with millions of people about to go into another year without a pathway to citizenship. We need action now!
Before December 31st, will you make a donation toward United We Dream Action’s end-of-year goal to fuel our work to dismantle the deportation machine and secure a pathway to citizenship?

It has been nearly 40 years since Congress passed immigration legislation that provided a path to citizenship for millions. Yet in the decades since, Congress has continued to exponentially increase funding for the detention and deportation of immigrants.
Now, Democrats are close to squandering a legislative trifecta in Washington by failing to protect immigrant youth.
All month long, we’ve put pressure on elected officials to deliver on the promises they made to our communities.
We need our leaders to have the same courage and determination as immigrant youth and allies who put our bodies on the line to speak up for our communities.
Rush in a donation of any amount to help our immigrant youth-led movement fight back against increased funding for the deportation machine and protect immigrant communities. We cannot back down now.

Thank you for standing with us in the fight for a better future.
