Advocates gather in D.C. to ask for immigration reforms

FSW Executive Director Stephen Reeves is in Washington, D.C. this week with Elket Rodríguez, Chrissy Tatum Williamson. Elket is a CBF field personnel and immigration specialist in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, and Chrissy is the pastor of Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC.

Evangelical Immigration Table invited advocates from all over the country to join together in an organized action week for immigration advocacy. They are asking Congress to pass long overdue immigration reforms to provide permanent solutions for Dreamers, TPS recipients, and agricultural workers, and work with administration officials to improve border management. 

Here are three things you can do to add your voice to theirs:

  1. EMAIL: Send your Senators an email urging them to support meaningful, bipartisan immigration reform.

  2. CALL: Call your Senators and ask them to reform and modernize our immigration system. Dial 202-224-3121 and a switchboard operator will help connect you directly to your Senators.

  3. GET SOCIAL: Post on social media to share why you support incremental immigration reforms and urge your friends to join you.

The time is ripe for change. Let's not wait another 36 years (1986 was the last time Congress passed expansive immigration reform) to update our immigration system.
