Dear Congressman Davis,
As parents, grandparents, caregivers, business leaders, and North Carolinians who believe every family deserves the opportunity to thrive, we are writing to say thank you.
Thank you for supporting the discharge petition for the American Dream and Promise Act. Your commitment to sign the petition is an important step toward bringing this critical legislation to the House floor for a vote and advancing permanent protections for Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients.
Your leadership sends a powerful message that immigrant families belong in North Carolina and deserve the opportunity to build secure, stable futures. Dreamers and TPS recipients are an essential part of our communities and workforce. They are nurses, child care providers, home health aides, teachers, small business owners, neighbors, parents, and caregivers who contribute every day to the well-being and economic strength of our state.
We are especially grateful for your support of legislation that would provide Dreamers and TPS recipients with a pathway to permanent legal status and help protect families from deportation and separation. At a time when immigrant families are facing increased uncertainty and fear, your willingness to stand up for permanent protections matters deeply.
Families across North Carolina continue to face challenges finding affordable child care, accessing health care, and making ends meet. When trusted caregivers and essential workers are threatened with deportation, the impact reaches far beyond individual families. It can deepen workforce shortages, disrupt care for children and older adults, and make it harder for communities and businesses to thrive.
Our nation needs a safe and orderly immigration process that balances compassion and security, not cuts to healthcare and not cruelty – and we thank you for standing up against cruelty and for our families.
We hope you will continue building on this momentum by standing with immigrant families and supporting policies that protect children, caregivers, workers, and families across North Carolina. Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and stable family, and every family deserves the opportunity to build a future.
Thank you for your leadership, for listening to North Carolina families, and for taking meaningful action. We appreciate your commitment to moving the American Dream and Promise Act forward, and we look forward to working with you to ensure every child, every family, and every community can thrive.
With gratitude,
