#LetAsylumSeekersWork

A coalition of faith communities is fighting a proposed rule that would make it nearly impossible for asylum-seekers to get work permits in the United States. Let that sink in. People who have already fled violence and persecution — who are here legally, waiting for their cases to be heard — would be stripped of the ability to earn a living for years... We submitted our comments. Now we're asking you to submit yours. Deadline is April 24, and remember your unique voice matters! #LetAsylumSeekersWork

I just submitted my comment to stop a proposed rule that would attack work permits for asylum-seekers. Here's why it matters even if you don't know anyone personally affected: This rule would create critical labor shortages in healthcare, hospitality, and construction. It would strain local food pantries, shelters, and social services. No one wins from this rule. And the government is legally required to consider every unique public comment before finalizing it. The deadline is April 24. Will you add your voice? #LetAsylumSeekersWork

I just submitted my public comment opposing the Trump administration's cruel proposed rule that would strip asylum-seekers of their ability to work. I'm asking my community to do the same! As a person of faith, I believe every human being has inherent dignity and the right to provide for themselves and their families. This rule would trap thousands of people in poverty or force them into exploitative work while they wait for a judgment on their asylum case. The comment deadline is April 24. It takes less than 5 minutes. Your unique, personalized comment can help delay and fight this rule. #LetAsylumSeekersWork

I took action today, and I need you to do the same. ⏰ The Trump administration has proposed a rule that would make it nearly impossible for asylum-seekers to get work permits. It's an indefinite sentence of poverty and desperation for people who are already fleeing violence and persecution. We have until April 24 to flood the Federal Register with unique, personalized comments. Federal agencies are legally required to read and respond to every substantive comment, meaning your voice can delay this rule and create grounds for legal challenges. #LetAsylumSeekersWork

A coalition of faith communities I'm part of has joined together to fight a rule that would devastate asylum-seekers' ability to work and support their families. I want to ask my closest loved ones to join me. The Trump administration is trying to eliminate work permits for people waiting for asylum decisions. Without the ability to work legally, these families would be forced into poverty or into exploitative situations with no recourse and no protection. I believe in a world where everyone belongs. If you share this belief, please submit a public comment before April 24. #LetAsylumSeekersWork
