Use Your Voice: Tell Senators to Include Immigrants in The COVID-19 Relief Package
Immigration
Posted July 2020
Congress is currently negotiating the details of the next COVID-19 relief package, including who will be eligible for aid. In March, Congress left millions of immigrants out of federal relief efforts. You can help ensure they don’t make the same mistake again — call your Senators now and urge them to include immigrants in COVID-19 relief by:
- Automatically extending work permits for DACA recipients
- Providing cash payments to all tax filers
- Extending deferred action to all essential workers
