Your voice can make a difference
Decisions about immigration policy are affecting people who are here legally, have followed the rules, and are working to build stable lives in their communities. For many, these changes create new uncertainty, despite doing everything the system asked of them. While the headlines can feel discouraging, people across the country are finding ways to be part of the solution.
Work authorization for asylum seekers
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed a new rule that would severely restrict work permits for asylum-seekers. If finalized, this policy would make it harder for thousands of people, who are here legally and waiting for their cases to be decided in court, to support themselves and their families while they follow the legal process.
Ways to make a difference
When people share what they are seeing in their communities, it helps bring attention to real-world impacts and to solutions that reflect fairness and common sense.
Process Ukrainian re-parole applications
Some Ukrainians who followed the required process, received conditional humanitarian re-parole approval, and paid the new $1,000 USCIS parole fee are still waiting months for final decisions, with little clarity on next steps. Delays like these can create uncertainty for people who have complied with every requirement and are seeking stability for themselves and their families.
Use your voiceSupport legal pathways
Across the country, communities have stepped up to welcome newcomers through legal sponsorship programs designed to provide safe and orderly pathways. Policies that strengthen these programs can help ensure that people who follow the rules, and the communities supporting them, have a clear and reliable path forward.
