Policy Advocacy
Your Voice Counts! Your Vote Counts!
Unidos advocates for legislation and policies that support immigrant individuals and their families. We are committed to improving the lives of Latino families through our work at the local, state, and national levels of government.
National
We support the ongoing efforts to achieve Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) which is the responsibility of the U.S. Congress. We will continue to urge our Congressional delegation to make this a very high priority.
Senator Jeff Merkley www.merkley.senate.gov
Senator Ron Wyden www.wyden.senate.gov
Representative Suzanne Bonamici (First District) www.bonamici.house.gov
State
In recent years, we have encouraged our communities to be active in the Oregon legislature and electoral process to advocate for legislation and ballot measures that benefit immigrants.
It’s really important to let your state legislators know your point of view, your opinions, and how you want them to vote.
