Take Action Now to Keep Families Together

 

Great news - with the help of our supporters - the Family Reunification Bill is one step closer to being enacted into law.

 

 

 

Last week, alongside our supporters, we asked the Oireachtas Business Committee to make sure a bill that will enable refugees living in Ireland to be reunited with their loved ones progresses to the Dáil – and they listened!

While this is amazing news, we urgently need your help again to make sure this bill becomes law.  

 

This Thursday (6th Dec), the bill will be brought to the Dáil and TDs will vote on whether it should progress to the next stage (this is second stage and there are three more stages to go!). 

 

Please take action today and ensure TDs vote in favour of the Family Reunification Bill this Thursday. 

 

Just click on the link below so that you can email us and give consent to us sending a printed Christmas card to your TD asking them to support the bill. You will also be asked to let us know your constituency so that we know who to contact on your behalf. 

 

Families should always be together, especially at Christmas – together, we can make this happen. 

 

Please take action now!
