USCCB Announces National Call-in Day for Dreamers for February 26

Late last week, the U.S. Senate failed to achieve the 60 votes needed to move forward with debate on legislation to provide relief to Dreamers. These 1.8 million young people who were brought into the United States by their parents as children may face deportation as soon as March 6, unless Congress reaches a bi-partisan solution to protect them.

Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, USCCB President; Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, USCCB Vice President; and Bishop Joe S. Vásquez of Austin, Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Migration, together issued a statement announcing a National Catholic Call-In Day to Protect Dreamers on Monday, February 26. "Our faith compels us to stand with the vulnerable, including our immigrant brothers and sisters," said the bishops. "We have done so continually, but we must show our support and solidarity now in a special way. Now is the time for action."

Please participate in the Call-in Day to Congress on Monday, February 26, 2018! Directions are available in both English and Spanish.
