Contact Maine's Senators: Tell Them You Support a Pathway to Citizenship

May 2021

The Dream and Promise Act and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act passed the House of Representatives in March with bipartisan support. The Dream and Promise Act would establish a pathway to citizenship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) recipients.

The Farm Workforce Modernization Act would create a pathway to permanent residence for farmworkers and would change the existing H-2A temporary agricultural worker visa program. While DACA, TPS, and DED recipients and farmworkers need relief NOW, the current bills have many bars for immigrants who have had contact with our racially biased criminal legal system. This disproportionately harms immigrants of color. We need pathways to citizenship without these damaging criminal bars.

This legislation STILL has not reached the Senate floor. For these bills to become law, they must pass in the Senate.

Keep calling our Senators and urge them to vote for an inclusive Dream and Promise Act and Farm Workforce Modernization Act without criminal bars to status, as well as to support pathways to citizenship for ALL undocumented immigrants in the US:
