Tell the Senate: Make the Path to Citizenship Inclusive

We call on the Senate Judiciary Committee to use their power to make SB 744 a more inclusive bill that would create a fair path to citizenship for all 11 million aspiring Americans -- lowering the financial barriers, allowing for a more flexible application period, and making income and work requirements less rigid, so low-wage workers are not left out.

Why is this important?

Right now, the Senate Judiciary Committee is working on markup of immigration reform legislation -- and the barriers to a path to citizenship in the current bill remain too high.

On Tuesday, May 21, faith leaders from across the country will hold a People’s Hearing on Capitol Hill to put a human face on the debate, press for improvements to the bill, and deliver to Senate leaders the names of all who've signed this petition.

Faith leaders, DREAMers and other community leaders will share their personal testimonies about the impact of current immigration policy on families and the need for a fair, direct and affordable path to citizenship in the final legislation.
