LCLAA Applauds Efforts led in the House of Representatives in Passing the PRO Act As we Call on the Senate to Follow Suit

LCLAA Applauds the Passing of the American Rescue Plan As we Raise our Voices with those who Have Been Excluded

WASHINGTON, DC— LCLAA applauds the introduction of the U.S. Citizenship Act
Today the Biden administration took a bold leap in ensuring a pathway for Citizenship for the more than 11 million undocumented people, including TPS holders, Dreamers, and Agricultural Workers in the United States. They are essential members of our communities. The “U.S. Citizenship Act,” an extensive common-sense bill introduced today by Senator Menendez, Rep. Linda Sanchez, leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and other members of Congress, seems to correct many of the inequities established by the previous administration that were deeply rooted in anti-immigration rhetoric.

LCLAA Urges our Newly Elected Senate to Serve Justice and Hold Accountable those who Attempted Against our Democracy
LCLAA is hopeful that upon the Senate’s return to The Hill, the newly elected representatives will act immediately to hold accountable all those involved in last week’s shameful events. Our communities are aware of the multiple challenges that lie ahead, from guaranteeing justice is served, to the longer-term task of forging a more inclusive nation for all.
We urge our leaders to come together, to heal the wounds of hate. To pass laws that can advance our communities, and can keep working families healthy and safe amid COVID-19. To pass laws that can keep these same working families together! To pass laws dictated by the moral, humane and decency values sacredly enshrined in our nation’s constitution.
