Senator Schumer is writing a comprehensive immigration reform bill before Labor Day. 

It is critical that this legislation includes the Uniting American Families Act and thus 

includes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families. We must get this message 

to Senator Schumer as soon as possible. The suffering of our families must end!

 

Immigration Equality has issued a call to action on this for Senator Schumer's constituents.

Listed below is the Judiciary Staffer to contact, along with a letter that can be sent.

 

If you are in New York - be sure to include your address so they know a constituent is

weighing in on this.

 

Take action now to ensure we are in this bill!

 

The Honorable Charles E. Schumer

Dear Ms. Martz,

 

I am writing to thank Senator Schumer for his cosponsorship and vocal support of the Uniting American Families Act (S 424) 

and to urge you to include the Uniting American Families Act – and thus LGBT families – in the comprehensive immigration reform legislation you are currently writing.

Under the current discriminatory immigration laws, tens of thousands of lesbian and gay Americans
have to choose between leaving the country, family, and jobs they love or having their family torn apart.
The suffering of binational families in our country must end.

Comprehensive immigration reform will not be comprehensive unless all families are part of it – including gay and lesbian families.

If lesbian and gay Americans and their families are excluded from comprehensive immigration reform, it will take years - possibly decades –
to fix the terrible discrimination that these families now face.

Thank you for your time in this important matter.

 

Sincerely,

 

(Your Name)
