Bewildered by the rapid pace of federal action on immigration?
Join us on March 24 | |
After four punitive years for immigrants and would-be asylum seekers, the new administration has put out a dozen executive orders and sent a major bill to Congress to reform our immigration system. Is it enough? Or just a good first step? Join UUSJ’s Immigration Action Team on Wednesday, March 24 (7:30-9 pm ET) for a webinar sharing our information and views on US history of immigration policy (Whites-only citizenship! Chinese exclusion! Quotas to keep out southern Europeans! Reagan’s amnesty for undocumented persons!). Then we’ll take a closer look at the last ten years and future four. We’ll share our current priorities and seek your feedback. Register HERE. This will be followed on April 28 with a town hall zoom where we invite immigrant-led advocacy organizations, faith partners and UUs to discuss strategy for advocacy efforts in Congress. Examine the multiple options of smaller bills (Dream Act, TPS, Farmworkers, family reunification, ICE/CBP oversight) being re-introduced in the House and Senate in parallel with the “big” US Citizenship Act of 2021. Help define the focus for UUSJ’s June virtual visit to Congress and mobilize constituents to join in those meetings. Details and registration link will be provided in the near future. | |
