Help Set a New Record for UAFA. Call Congress Today!

The time to act is NOW!
On Tuesday evening, many of you attended Immigration Equality’s grassroots conference call. If you took action, and reached out to your elected leaders, thank you. If you haven’t yet done so, however, please take a moment and ask your Representatives to co-sponsor the Uniting American Families Act!
Please take a few moments and call your Representative and Senators about UAFA.
Just dial the Capitol Switchboard — (202) 224-3121 — three times: Once for each of your Senators, and once for your Representative in the House. Then, tell them:
“Hi, my name is ___________, I live at (street address and city) and I am your constituent. I am calling to ask Rep./Senator _______ to cosponsor the Uniting American Families Act when it is introduced in the coming weeks. Every family deserves to stay together. No American should have to choose between the person they love and our country.”

Your calls are the key to ensuring we have a strong coalition of lawmakers supporting UAFA when it is reintroduced later this month. It is critical that every elected leader know this is an issue that impacts their constituents and families in their state and district.
Our families are counting on you to help us build the support we need.
Please call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. If you do not know who your Member of Congress is, the operator can identify them for you, and then connect you directly to their office.
Please take just a few minutes to make these three critical calls today.
We finished the last Congress with 162 co-sponsors in the House and Senate. That was a record ... and we want to set another record this year. I hope you’ll help us by contacting your lawmakers today.
Thank you for all that you do!
