Ambrosians for Peace and Justice

Hello, my name is [your name]. I am a member of [name your congregation - If you have a Church]; and I am a registered voter in [Representative ___________________________'s district for House calls OR Name of state for senate calls]. I care about comprehensive immigration reform [describe why it is important to you].

I am calling to urge Representative/Senator _________________________________ to ensure that a commonsense bill is released immediately. The bill must include: [select from the list below]

1. Provide a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented people currently within our borders, with an expedited path for immediate family members of U.S. citizens, DACA students, and individuals with Temporary Protection Status;

2. Emphasize healthy families and communities rather than border security and punishment;

3. Immediately halt deportations and workplace raids;

4. Reunify families and end the Secure Communities program and legal provisions that have led to their separation;

5. Protect civil, labor, and human rights of all immigrants, regardless of legal status;

6. Provide access to healthcare, social services and due process, regardless of legal status;

7. Ensure protections for victims of violence and trafficking; and

8. Recognize the contributions of women and low income immigrants.

Thank you.

Note: You do not need to ask for a specific individual in the Member office. The Member's front office is equipped to take your call and forward it to your Senator or Representative. The person you speak with may ask for contact information. If s/he does not and you would like a response from the Congressperson about your comment, please let them know and provide the office with your contact information then.
