It's Time to Pass Immigration Reform that Includes Same-Sex Families
It's time. Join the growing chorus of people who are demanding that Congress pass comprehensive immigration reform that is inclusive of same-sex families. It's about fairness, it's about equality and it's about keeping families together.
President Obama's plan for immigration reform calls for "treating same-sex families as families by giving U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents the ability to seek a visa on the basis of a permanent relationship with a same-sex partner."
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force calls on Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration policy that ensures fair treatment for those impacted by our failed immigration policy - including LGBT families.
Behind the hollow anti-immigrant rhetoric are stories of real people and families - hardworking individuals who want to take care of their families and create a bright future for their children.
Demand that your members of Congress support comprehensive immigration reform that includes LGBT families.
Dear [Representative],

I'm writing to call on you to support a comprehensive immigration policy that ensures fair and just treatment for all those impacted by our failed immigration policy including a fair and timely pathway to citizenship that will benefit LGBT undocumented people and their families.
This is an issue that affects real people and real families -- hardworking responsible individuals who want to take care of their families and create a bright future for their children.
Please, stand up for families today and support comprehensive immigration reform that includes LGBT families.
