Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the REPO Act (H.R. 5835) and use her Small Business platform to support Ukraine rebuilding and Ukrainian American businesses
- Why it works with them: Her whole career has been about standing with immigrant communities, and connecting to small business and diaspora economics fits her lane exactly
- Your connection: You are a Brooklyn resident, attend a Brooklyn Ukrainian parish, or run a Ukrainian American small business in her district
- Avoid: Leading only with national security framing. Connect to immigrant and diaspora stories
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.
Read this script naturally. It is a guide, not a word-for-word requirement. Staffers appreciate callers who sound like constituents, not robots.
