Over the past three weeks, faith leaders and undocumented immigrants made an enormous sacrifice and fasted for their freedom. Immigrant essential workers, Dreamers, and TPS holders were joined by clergy and other allies in a fast to urge Congress to create a pathway to citizenship this summer. Take 5 minutes today to honor their fast by calling your members of Congress!
The efforts of immigrant people, faith leaders, and allies are working. After three weeks of fasting, we learned that Senator Bernie Sanders has included a pathway to citizenship in his budget reconciliation proposal, a huge victory for advocates. However, the bill is still up for debate and can be changed. We need your help to make sure these pathways stay in the final budget and become a reality! Ask your members of Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of essential workers and their families, Dreamers, and TPS holders in the upcoming jobs and infrastructure reconciliation bill.
Our faith teaches us that we are bound together, responsible for each other's health as much as our own. We are only as healthy, safe, and free as our neighbors. This past year we saw how all Americans relied on people doing essential work to sustain our economy and maintain the flow of food, as well as other goods and basic services, in every part of our country. We owe a debt of gratitude and have a moral obligation to essential workers. Our nation must create a pathway to citizenship for immigrant essential workers and their families. Join us in calling today. You will be directly connected to the offices of your senators and representatives. A sample script will be provided. In faith and action, Paola Fuentes Gleghorn |
