The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 is proof of the power of the organizers & activists who helped deliver this moment.
This is the first time a proposal doesn't start by increasing $$ for the deportation system or requiring more immigrants be detained in exchange for citizenship.

While this is a moment to celebrate it is also a reminder to keep pushing forward. We know that immigrants are being deported and need relief right now, and that even this bill leaves some people out.
We need @POTUS and Democrats in Congress to act quickly to deliver a pathway to citizenship for ALL undocumented immigrants through any means possible, including the next COVID-19 relief & recovery packages.
The goal is citizenship and justice, not a symbolic bill introduction.
The Democratic majorities in the House and Senate have a moral imperative and mandate to deliver on immigration and to do it quickly.
