Make a call today! Oppose the RAISE Act!
Days of Action: Raise Your Voice Against the RAISE Act
CRSA members met with the staff of Senator David Perdue to discuss his co-sponsorship of S. 354, the RAISE Act. This bill aims to cut legal forms of immigration in half over the next ten years. It will do this in multiple ways:
We need you to help convince Senator Perdue to remove his name from co-sponsorship of this anti-welcoming bill!
Call Today: (844) 749-7985
Please take a moment today to call Senator Perdue’s office to ask him to remove his name from this bill. Remind him that you want to keep Georgia, and the United States, as a welcoming place for all refugees and immigrants. |
