CARECEN SF thanks Speaker Pelosi for her leadership and commitment to advancing the nation’s future with the passage in the U.S. House of Representatives of the Build Back Better Act. We understand that the current proposal could result in urgently needed temporary work permits for a good segment of the immigrant community. We also understand that it still faces many barriers now that it has moved to the Senate. So we call on your leadership to advocate with Democratic Senators to not only protect, but support 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.”
