Representatives Gary Peters (D-MI-9), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY-12), Chris Murphy (D-CT-5, pictured) and Janice Hahn (D-CA-36) have cosponsored the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA). Both Congresswoman Velazquez and Congressman Murphy joined after their staff met with constituents who shared their personal stories about being in a bi-national relationship.

We are grateful to these members of Congress for supporting the right of LGBT binational families in their districts and beyond to be allowed to remain together, at home.

Thanks to all of you who have reached out to your members of Congress to urge them to cosponsor UAFA. You can tell your story to your member of Congress – and ask them to cosponsor UAFA – in our Take Action section here.
