Will you make one phone call today to help keep the push for citizenship on track?
On
Tuesday morning, the House Judiciary Committee will hold its first
hearing on immigration. This is an important moment. Help us tell the
committee chairman, U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), that people of
faith are deeply committed to real immigration reform that prioritizes
citizenship and family unity and that we will be watching - and praying.
Chairman
Goodlatte is a key player in the legislative fight in Congress. He
needs to know that we will not accept an immigration reform bill that
does not include a viable roadmap to citizenship for our country's 11
million undocumented immigrants.
Last
week, President Obama presented his immigration proposal, which
includes a roadmap to citizenship. We also heard from key members of the
U.S. Senate who released their own framework for immigration, which
also outlines citizenship as an element. Tomorrow is the day the House
of Representatives enters the conversation.
Let's
make sure Chairman Goodlatte walks into tomorrow's hearing knowing
that people of faith are organizing for real reform that prioritizes
citizenship and keeps families together.
Peace and Blessings,
Executive Director, LA Voice
