From Justice for Immigrants:
Call to Action
(Dignity of the Human Person, The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers)
Justice for Immigrants (JFI) asks us to encourage passage of immigration reform to secure legal status with a path to citizenship for Dreamers, TPS/DED holders, migrant agricultural workers, and other undocumented essential workers. You can contact your senator and representative today through two of JFI’s action alerts:
Send the Senate alert: No More Delay; Positive Immigration Reform Needed Now
Send the House alert: No More Delay; Positive Immigration Reform Needed Today
You can also write a letter to the editor - they have provided a sample letter to help. They also encourage us to pray for immigration reform using these suggested intercessions and a Prayer for an "ever wider we." Share these resources with others and encourage them to advocate on behalf of our migrant brothers and sisters.
From the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: The U.S. is a leading producer of vaccines, and we have a moral responsibility to help end the pandemic by sharing vaccines with our brothers and sisters around the world. In order to end the pandemic here, we must end it everywhere. Ask Congress to support ending the pandemic through vaccine equity. Click here to take action now!
The Office of Social Action assists parishioners with advocacy on legislative issues at the local, state and federal levels. The Iowa Catholic Conference and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops provide guidance and resources on campaigns and issues.
