Make sure you're counted

Friend, Today is National Census Day, and I’m asking you to take a few minutes to fill out yours.  The U.S. Census does more than count the country’s population. The data collected from the Census is used to determine how billions of dollars in federal funds are distributed across the country.…

Friend, As always, the Trump Administration continues to spend its time demonizing immigrants and finding ways to make America a less diverse nation. Here’s an update on some of the latest immigration policies the White House is pushing. Last week, the New York Times reported that President T…

Leave a comment, stop the fees

Friend, Immigrants trying to adjust their status in any way have hit another roadblock. Last week, the Trump Administration announced that it wants to increase the price of many U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) processes — from DACA applications to naturalization to work permi…

Support the farmworkers that feed us

Friend, Last month, the Trump Administration proposed harmful changes to the agricultural guest worker program known as “H-2A.” The H2A program allows immigrant workers to temporarily enter the U.S. to perform seasonal agricultural jobs. The proposed changes would make it easier to deny jobs …

Help us fight to end the border crisis

Friend, We have a humanitarian crisis at the U.S./Mexico border, and it’s getting worse each day. The Trump Administration has done everything in their power to worsen living conditions for children and families seeking asylum at our ports of entry.  These are women and young children who hav…
