Next
week the Catholic community across the country is planning to double-down on
its commitment to stand with Dreamers.
On
Monday, February 26, USCCB is sponsoring a National Call-In Day for
Dreamers. In their announcement, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, USCCB President,
Archbishop José Gómez, USCCB Vice President, and Bishop Joe Vásquez, chair
of the USCCB’s Migration Committee said: “Our faith compels us to stand with
the vulnerable, including our immigrant brothers and sisters. We have done so
continually, but we must show our support and solidarity now in a special way.
Now is the time for action."
Your
advocacy is critical. We hope to drive thousands of calls to
Congress. Please call 1-855-589-5698 and press 1 to be
connected to your Senators. Call again and press 2 to be connected
to your Representative.
Once
connected please ask the person on the phone to deliver this simple message to
your legislator:
“I
urge you to support a bipartisan and humane solution for Dreamers: Protect
Dreamers from deportation and provide them with a path to citizenship. Reject
proposals that undermine family immigration or protections for unaccompanied
children. As a Catholic, I know that families are not “chains,” but a blessing
to be protected. Act now to protect Dreamers, our immigrant brothers and
sisters.”
