CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM TO INCLUDE IMMIGRANTS IN COVID-19 RELIEF!
On Tuesday, August 11, please call your two senators in Washington, DC and tell them that we need COVID-19 relief for all workers, including immigrants!
Call the Capitol Switchboard (202-225-3121), and ask to speak to your state’s senators. Each state has two senators. When you are transferred to the first Senate office, leave this message with the person who answers or the voice mail system. Repeat with the second office.
As a person of faith, I believe in protecting the God-given dignity of every human being and pursuing the common good during this global health emergency. Our faith teachings call us in this time of global pandemic to care in a special way for persons who are most at risk; including immigrants and refugees.
That is why I urge the Senate to approve a COVID-19 relief package that includes:
1) Automatic extensions of work permits for DACA recipients and TPS holders;
2) Free COVID-19 testing and treatment for all, regardless of immigration status; and
3) Ensuring immigrants and refugees, including those in mixed status families, are eligible for stimulus payments.
Thank you!
