I just submitted my public comment opposing a proposed rule that would strip asylum seekers of their right to work, sometimes for years.
These are people who have already fled violence and persecution. They are here legally, waiting for their cases to be heard. This rule would force them into poverty or into exploitative work with no protection.
It takes less than 5 minutes to comment. The deadline is April 24, and every unique voice matters.
Will you add yours?
#LetAsylumSeekersWork
As a person of faith, I believe every human being carries inherent dignity — including the right to work, provide for their family, and build a life.
A proposed federal rule would deny asylum seekers that right for years while they wait for a judgment on their case.

I submitted my comment to Senator opposing a rule that would make it nearly impossible for asylum seekers to get work permits in the U.S.
This isn't abstract policy. It means families stranded in poverty. It means people forced to work illegally because they have no other choice.
The government must hear from as many of us as possible before April 24.
#LetAsylumSeekersWork
remains in solidarity with asylum seekers.
We are a community grounded in the belief that every person carries inherent dignity — including the right to work and care for their family.
A proposed federal rule would strip that right from thousands of people already here legally, already waiting, already part of our communities.
