Indiana

Indiana's Ukrainian American community is modest but has a long-established presence in Indianapolis and northern industrial cities like Gary and Hammond.

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.
