We’re now in the midst of one of the largest delegalizations of immigrants in our nation’s history. People who have lived in this country for years, who don’t know any other life, who are valued and beloved members of our community, are now at risk. And despite what right-wing propaganda insists, significant majorities of Americans believe there should be a route for them to make the United States their home for good. We need to make ourselves heard.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) has introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act (H.R. 1589), legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for 4.4 million immigrant young people, Dreamers and temporary protected status holders. This is the sort of broad-based solution that may be out of reach right now but that we need to keep building support for. We need 218 signatures from House members to bring it to the House floor. We’ve secured 210 – including three Republicans.

On Wednesday, the immigrant youth-led action network United We Dream will be hosting a power hour text bank at 7PM ET, reaching out to fellow supporters to encourage them to reach out to their reps to ask them to sign on. 💬 We can join them to help drive these calls here. 💬
