TAKE ACTION!
Sign our letter to demand a path to citizenship in the Build Back Better Act.
For the last 15 years, Gamaliel’s Civil Rights of Immigrants Campaign has fought for a clear path to citizenship for all immigrants. Now, as the United States Senate considers the Build Back Better Act, we have a narrow window of opportunity to push President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to reinsert a path to citizenship into the Build Back Better Act through a registry update.
You have the opportunity to join us in this call to action by signing this letter that calls upon our leaders to make this change. Please sign by Wednesday, January 19 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time.
