Petition Congressional Parliamentarian for Path to Citizenship Decision

ByDeb Cruz September 17, 2021

The chance to get a path to citizenship for millions of people— youth, farmworkers, and other essential workers— is very close!

A process for citizenship is being debated in Congress at the moment and a key person, called the parliamentarian, will decide if citizenship language will enter the budget reconciliation bill.

No matter what she decides on the citizenship language, we will be demanding that Congress authorize a path to citizenship now! The Senate will vote on this bill in the next few weeks, and we have to demand our senators not let this opportunity pass. Send a message to your senator to demand that she take leadership and ensure that we will have a path to citizenship on this bill.
