Urgent: Calls needed to block anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act

MAKE THE CALL

The Senate is about to vote on a dangerous anti-immigrant bill. The Laken Riley Act exploits a personal tragedy to wrongly and harmfully criminalize immigrants. Soon, it could be law that any undocumented person who is merely accused of a minor crime will be thrown in detention.

Trump’s campaign spread lies about immigrants to get elected and enact their authoritarian agenda, and now even Democratic members of Congress are buckling under political pressure to pass anti-immigrant policies that don't keep us safe and go against our values as Americans and people of conscience.

We can block this bill if our Senators make the right choice: Call your Senator and tell them to vote NO on the Laken Riley Act. 


Call script:

As a Jewish American and supporter of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, I’m calling to tell Senator [last name] to vote NO on the Laken Riley Act. This bill exploits a personal tragedy to wrongly and harmfully criminalize immigrants. Attacking immigrants is not how we make our communities safer, and it goes against all our Jewish and American values. Again, I urge them to vote NO on the Laken Riley Act.
