What’s a discharge petition? It’s how a House majority forces a vote leadership won’t schedule. 218 signatures and the bill goes to the floor. The Dignity Act is bipartisan and deserves that vote. Call your Rep and ask them to sign when Congress returns in November. 💙 #DignityAct​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Rebecca Shi of the American Business Immigration Coalition told Axios that Latino voters don't see border security and legal pathways as competing priorities. 76% want Congress to pass both together. The Dignity Act does that, with 40 House sponsors, 20 from each party. afuaction.org/dignity-act

76% of Latino voters in seven battleground states want Congress to pass stronger border security and work permits for long-term immigrants. The Dignity Act delivers both. It has 40 sponsors, 20 Rs and 20 Ds. Congress should pass it. Learn more at afuaction.org/dignity-act/

Big news: the Dignity Act is moving toward a discharge petition. On Nov 10, signatures open, and 218 forces a House vote. No comprehensive immigration reform bill has ever reached the floor this way. We have six weeks before Congress returns. Call your representative and make your voice heard.

ICE could deport Pastor Molis Augustave, husband of a U.S. citizen, as soon as Thursday. We told Newsweek, "What benefit is it to the United States to deny this man his place among us?" www.newsweek.com/ice-poised-t...

María Elvira Salazar has been a real ally on immigration, even when it cost her within her own party. If we want other Republicans to follow her, we can’t eat them alive when they agree with us. Support the people willing to cross the aisle.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is Maria Salazar in 2024, sharing what she believed and what most Americans support today. She trusted the claim: target criminals, gang members. When that’s not what she saw, she spoke up — more press conferences on this in 2025-2026 than anyone. Why the surprise now?

No U.S. citizen should forced into separation from their spouse. But that's exactly what so many of AFU's members across the country are facing. Read the story of Jenni Rivera and her family, then share this with others. There are 1.4M people just like her who deserve to be heard.

Legislative alert! 🚨 House leaders moving forward on H.R. 2-style border legislation as soon as next week. No relief, no waivers, more family separation. There's a better way: the Dignity Act balances enforcement and family unity. Act now: afuaction.org. www.politico.com/live-updates...
