Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Use his Appropriations seat to protect Ukraine funding, and sign onto the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), which protects Ukrainians in the U.S. from deportation
- Why it works with them: Refugee protection and immigration advocacy are his signature issues
- Your connection: Upper Manhattan's Ukrainian community is close to the historic East Village Little Ukraine
- Avoid: Military-first framing; his voice is humanitarian
Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104? Thank you.
