The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is asking everyone to participate in a Call-in Day to Congress on
Monday, February 26, 2018! 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:
1. Please 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.”
2. 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. Thanks for your participation!
