Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].

I'm calling to urge Representative Sen. Risch to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025.

There are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians living in the United States who fled Russia's invasion. They are our neighbors, our colleagues, our community members. This bill gives them a pathway to permanent residency so they can rebuild their lives with stability and dignity.

These are people who did nothing wrong. They fled a war. They deserve certainty about their future in America.

Will Sen. Risch cosponsor H.R. 3104?

Thank you.
