(Above: Immigrants in D.C. urge they not continue to be left out of COVID relief..)
Now's the Moment
to Urge Immigrants be Included in COVID Relief!
Congress continues to negotiate a COVID relief package and FY21 funding--and hopes to finalize by the end of Friday.
Immigrant families have been disproportionately hard hit by the pandemic--yet
initial federal COVID relief in large part excluded undocumented immigrants.
Those left out included front-line essential workers in multiple service, construction, ag and food production, and health roles. Left out, too, were mixed-status families (despite many having U.S. citizen children), and those who file taxes with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers.
Make an easy click on this action alert to send a message to your leaders for all immigrants, regardless of status, to be included by Congress in their next COVID relief.
