Seeking asylum is a human right, and a substantial majority of voters (69%) support the U.S. having a system for asylum seekers to migrate to the U.S. to seek protection legally.

We are asking our members of Congress to fix this broken immigration system and protect the dignity and rights of asylum seekers by passing immigration reform that:

-Secures the U.S. border.

-Reduces the number of beds in immigration facilities.

-Reforms the legal immigration system to meet U.S. needs better

-Increases funding for enhanced security and technology at ports of entry to better prevent the smuggling of illegal weapons and narcotics, including fentanyl, across the border

-Addresses the root causes of migration from South and Central America through diplomatic relations and humanitarian aid

-Permanently protect DACA and Dreamers

-Increases funding to process immigration applications more efficiently

-Increases funding to process work authorization applications for undocumented immigrants more efficiently

-Increases funding for case management programs that help undocumented immigrants and their families better understand their immigration court obligations

-Hires 1,600 new asylum officers and processing personnel to approximately double the number of officers working on asylum cases and improve the efficiency of the asylum system

-Hires 375 new immigration judges to help process immigration cases

-Eliminates the six-month waiting period for asylum seekers to apply for work authorization.

As champions for progress, People Power United members understand that we must come together to solve our issues. Can you take 1 (one) minute and send a message to your member of Congress to champion reform to our broken immigration system?

I believe in the power of the people. People Power United members believe in the possibility of change and work to make it happen. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. – Laurie Woodward Garcia, People Power United
