Advocacy Insight

  • Ask them to: Sign onto the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), which protects Ukrainians in the U.S. from deportation.
  • Why it works with them: Agricultural exports, rural community solidarity, science-based policy.
  • Your connection: If you live in the Quad Cities and work in manufacturing tied to the defense industrial base or at John Deere, say so.
  • Avoid: Nothing.

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.

Call Script
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.
