Please Take Action: In the next few weeks, Congress will likely take up the issue of immigration reform by passing small single-issue bills in a piecemeal process. A dangerous bill that passed the House Judiciary Committee continues to get attention — the Strengthen And Fortify Enforcement Act “SAFE Act” (H.R. 2278). Representatives need to hear that people of faith oppose the SAFE Act and instead support legislation that would create a pathway to citizenship and reunite families.

Sample Message:
I am from {name of city} and as a person of faith, I urge the Representative to OPPOSE the so-called “SAFE Act” (H.R. 2278), which would:
• encourage racial profiling
• expand mandatory and indefinite detention
• harm both community safety and vulnerable populations, and
• criminalize all immigration violations and faith groups that provide assistance to all, regardless of immigration status.
Please instead support immigration reform that reunites families and creates a path to citizenship.
