What’s the status of the fight for citizenship? And what can I do to help?

We’re glad you asked. Because after decades of tireless advocacy, many undocumented immigrant neighbors in our communities are closer than ever to winning the citizenship they deserve. The House Judiciary Committee just successfully marked up the pathway to citizenship legislative text of the Build Back Better Budget Reconciliation Bill! But what happens next depends on our continued, collective effort

Join FCNL’s Anika Forrest and interfaith partners for a bilingual webinar on Monday, Sept. 20. They’ll share updates on Congress’s budget reconciliation process, who could get covered by the path to citizenship that has been included in budget reconciliation legislative text, and how you can take action to help get a clean and inclusive path to citizenship across the finish line.

The webinar will be in English with Spanish interpretations provided.
