Pass The Adoptee Citizenship Act of 2019

Their family, their friends, their community is here. Their citizenship should be, too.

Tell Congress to close the loophole and pass the Adoptee Citizenship Act of 2019 before it expires!
Through no fault of their own, some people who were adopted internationally by U.S. citizen parents still lack U.S. citizenship today. As a result, these individuals have had to endure numerous problems including difficulty attending college, accessing banking services, or starting their careers. Without their rightful citizenship, they are unable to vote or access critical government supports and services such as the unemployment benefits that helped so many families during this time of financial crisis. Today, advocates from across the country are uniting to close the loopholes and secure permanent citizenshipt for adoptees by urging Congress to pass the Adoptee Citizenship Act before it expires.

TAKE ACTION

Don’t wait!  We need to show congress widespread, nationwide support to ensure this legislation passes  this year  so that adoptees can have access to the benefits of citizenship they rightfully deserve.
