CUARESMA EN ACCIÓN: APOYANDO A LOS SOÑADORES CAMPAÑA DE LLAMADAS AL

CONGRESO

¡Participe en la campaña nacional para llamar al Congreso el lunes 26 de febrero del 2018! Su apoyo es fundamental para ayudar a los casi 1.8 millones de jóvenes y niños que fueron traídos a este país por sus padres. A partir del 6 de marzo, estos jóvenes enfrentan ser deportados a menos que el congreso llegue a un acuerdo bipartidista para protegerlos. Por favor siga estos pasos para ayudarles:

Llame a la central telefónica del Capitolio al 855-589-5698 y presione el 1 para conectarlo a sus Senadores. Una vez conectado a la oficina, por favor pídale a la persona en el teléfono entregar el siguiente mensaje:

“Urgimos que apoye una solución bipartidista y humana para nuestros soñadores que:

• Proteja a nuestros Soñadores de las deportaciones y les ofrezca un camino hacia la ciudadanía. • Rechace propuestas que socaven la inmigración de familias o elimine protecciones para los niños no acompañados. • Como persona de fe, la Iglesia Católica nos enseña que las familias no son “cadenas” sino, más bien, una bendición que debe ser protegida. • Actué ahora para proteger a los soñadores, nuestros hermanas y hermanos inmigrantes.”

Llame una segunda vez a la central del Capitolio 855-589-5698 y esta vez presione el 2 para conectarlo a sus Representantes. Una vez conectado pida a la persona en el teléfono entregar el mismo mensaje.

Después que complete su llamada, visite la página http://www.justiceforimmigrants.org para encontrar otras sugerencias de como demostrar su apoyo.

Dreamers are the 1.8 million young people who were brought to the United States as children by their parents through no fault of their own. They often know America as their only home. Dreamers are woven into the fabric of our country and of our Church, and are, by every social and human measure, American. They are contributors to our economy, veterans of our military, academic standouts in our universities, and leaders in our parish-es.

They live out their daily lives with hope and a determination to flourish and contribute to society. They should not have to live their lives in constant fear of deportation, which brings with it separation from their families and real dangers of violence and poverty in their countries of birth.

Congress is deadlocked over this important issue, and so I urge you to take a few moments on this Monday, February 26, to join with Catholics across the country in calling their Senators and Representatives to urge them to give Dreamers protection and a path to citizenship.

Thank you for taking action on behalf of our immigrant brothers and sisters, who are among the vulnerable in our society.

Peace, Fr Tom

U.S. BISHOPS URGE CATHOLICS TO CALL CONGRESS IN SUPPORT OF DREAMERS FEB 26

In response to the Senate's failure last week (Feb. 15) to achieve the 60 votes needed to move forward with debate on legislation to provide relief to Dreamers, the U.S. Bishops issued the following statement and called for a National Catholic Call-In Day to for the Protection of Dreamers Monday, Feb. 26. "We are deeply disappointed that the Senate was not able to come together in a bipartisan manner to secure legislative protection for the Dreamers. With the March 5th deadline looming, we ask once again that Members of Congress show the leadership necessary to find a just and humane solution for these young people, who daily face mounting anxiety and uncertainty." The Bishops are urging Catholics nationwide to call their Members of Congress next Monday, February 26, to protect Dreamers from deportation, to provide them a path to citizenship, and to avoid any damage to existing protections for families and unaccompanied minors in the process. "Our faith compels us to stand with the vulnerable, including our immigrant brothers and sisters. We have done so continually, but we must show our support and solidarity now in a special way. Now is the time for action." Two easy steps for participating in the Congressional Call-In Day Monday, Feb. 26 Your advocacy is critical to help the nearly 1.8 million Dreamers, young people who were brought into the United States by their parents as children. They may face deportation as soon as March 6, unless Congress reaches a bi-partisan deal to protect them. Please follow these easy steps to help: Call 855-589-5698 to reach the Capitol switchboard, and press 1 to connect to your Senators. Once you are connected to each Senator’s office, please ask the person on the phone to deliver this simple message: “I urge you to support a bipartisan, common-sense, and humane solution for Dreamers: Protect Dreamers from deportation and provide them with a path to citizenship. Reject proposals that undermine family immigration or protections for unaccompanied children. As a Catholic, I know that families are not “chains,” but a blessing to be protected. Act now to protect Dreamers, our immigrant brothers and sisters.” Please call 855-589-5698 a second time to reach the Capitol switchboard again, and press 2 to connect to your Representative. Once you are connected to the Representative’s office, please ask the person on the phone to deliver the same message as above. After completing your call, please visit Justice for Immigrants to learn more about Dreamers and find other ways to voice your support.
