This week, faith leaders, faith organizations, and congregations are collectively lifting our voices to declare that it is past time that we, as a nation, recognize the full humanity of our immigrant neighbors and create a pathway to citizenship for all of our 11 million undocumented neighbors. As Immigrant Heritage Month comes to a close, join us in a Faith Week of Action to urge Congress and the White House to include a pathway to citizenship for essential immigrant workers and their families, Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and farm workers in the “budget reconciliation” negotiations. Congress is considering “budget reconciliation” as a congressional mechanism to advance the administration’s jobs and infrastructure proposal — and it is critical that our undocumented community members are included.
