Lenten Call to Action

Lenten Action for Dreamers The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops invites YOU to participate in a national Call-in-Day to Congress on Monday, February 26, the Feast of St. Paula Montal, the foundress of the Piarist Sisters. Your advocacy is critical to help the nearly 1.8 million Dreamers, young people who were brought to the United States by their parents as children. Many face deportation as soon as March 6, unless Congress reaches a bi-partisan deal to protect them. Please follow these easy steps: 1, Call 855-589-5698 to reach the Capital switchboard, and press 1 to connect to your Senators. Once you are connected to each Senator’s office, please ask the person on the line to deliver this simple message: “I urge you to support a bipartisan common-sense and humane solution for Dreamers which includes protecting them from deportation, providing them with a path to citizenship, rejecting proposals that undermine family immigration or protections for unaccompanied children, and to act now to protect Dreamers because families are not chains, but a blessing to be protected.” 2. Call 855-589-5698 a second time to reach the switchboard again, and press 2 to connect to your Representative. Once you are connected to the Representative’s office, please ask the person on the phone to deliver the same message as above. 3. After completing your call, go to http://www.justiceforimmigrants.org to find other ways to voice your support.
