DIGNITY Act Gains Momentum with Broad Support
Washington, D.C. — One year after Representatives Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) and Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) introduced the DIGNITY Act (HR4393), the coalition backing this initiative has garnered support from over 100 organizations and stakeholders. This development underscores the increasing public backing for the only viable bipartisan immigration reform proposal currently before Congress.
Unprecedented Coalition Formation
Employers, manufacturers, farmers, restaurant owners, builders, educators, scientists, faith leaders, veterans, and immigrant advocates—groups that often find themselves at odds over immigration policy—have united under a bipartisan framework designed to restore the rule of law, strengthen America’s workforce, and offer practical solutions to an outdated immigration system.
Unique Bipartisan Support
Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar commented on the unique coalition formed around the DIGNITY Act, highlighting the diverse array of supporters: “Today, we have farmers standing next to faith leaders, employers beside dreamers, and individuals with differing political views all backing the same solutions. Such agreements are rare in Washington. My mission now is to translate that agreement into law.”
Growing Legislative Backing
The coalition’s expansion has led to significant attention on Capitol Hill, with the DIGNITY Act currently enjoying the endorsement of 40 members of Congress. Supported by the Problem Solvers Alliance, it continues to attract legislators and stakeholders committed to meaningful immigration reform that benefits the nation.
Public Engagement Initiatives
To broaden the conversation around immigration reform, the DIGNITY Act has launched the National DIGNITY Tour, featuring policy forums, roundtables, and meetings involving employers, workers, Dreamers, mixed-status families, faith leaders, and community organizations across the country. These interactions are crucial for refining the legislation and bolstering support for practical progress.
Extensive Support Network
A complete list of the over 100 organizations supporting the DIGNITY Act reflects a diverse cross-section of American society and can be accessed through various platforms. Some notable supporters include the American Business Immigration Council, National Association of Manufacturers, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, demonstrating widespread approval from various sectors.
Modernizing U.S. Immigration Policy
The DIGNITY Act aims to modernize America’s immigration system, restoring the rule of law while providing a practical, long-term solution for addressing illegal immigration that meets rigorous criteria. Over the past year, it has continued to attract attention through endorsements, national engagement, and significant media coverage highlighting its bipartisan approach to essential reform.
