Building a Better Nation, a More Equitable and Just Nation Requires Building a Nation for Everyone

Today’s passage in the U.S. House of Representatives of the Build Back Better Act represents an important step towards a once in a generation investment in our nation’s future. For 11+ Million immigrants actively contributing to the economic, social, cultural and civic fabric of the nation, and particularly in the context of a devastating global pandemic, the Build Back Better Act also represents an expression of our nation’s values. CARECEN SF calls on Senate Democrats to not only protect, but enact amendments to the current language that would expand protections and secure a path to permanency for the very people whose labor and contributions will ensure that as a nation we actually “build back better.”
