Pledge to Support LGBT Undocumented Immigrants

From the Center for Amerian Progress:

With over a quarter of a million people in the U.S. who are both LGBT and undocumented, immigration reform that includes a roadmap to earned citizenship would be a monumental achievement in the fight for LGBT equality. Progress is being made on Capitol Hill toward advancing a bipartisan bill that would lift 11 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows.

Right now, we need your voices to come out and build momentum for immigration reform that is inclusive for LGBT immigrants and their families. Make your voice heard: come #out4citizenship and sign our pledge.

A recent analysis by the Williams Institute found that there were at least 267,000 LGBT undocumented people in the United States today. Our goal is to reach 267,000 signatures ahead of next week’s march for immigration reform in Washington, D.C., on April 10. Will you be one of them?
