Day of Action: Raise Your Voice Against the RAISE Act

This week, CRSA members met with the staff of Senator Tom Cotton 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:

• Limits refugee arrivals to 50,000 per year.
• Reduces the number of family-sponsored immigrants allowed, cutting the list of family ties to only include spouses and unmarried children.
• Ends the diversity visa program, which welcomes 50,000 new Americans annually.

We need you to help convince Senator Cotton to remove his name from co-sponsorship of this anti-welcoming bill! 

Call Today: (202) 224-2353

Please take a moment today to call Senator Cotton’s office to ask him to remove his name from this bill. Remind him that you want to keep Arkansas, and the United States, as a welcoming place for all refugees and immigrants.  See below for more info.
