Take Action: Protect Ukrainians Displaced by Russia’s War

Why this matters

Many Ukrainians who lawfully sought safety here are working, paying taxes, supporting their families, and contributing to American communities, but they remain unable to return safely while Russian attacks continue.

510,000

Ukrainians in the U.S. under temporary statuses

240,000

Arrived through Uniting for Ukraine

Application delays and document gaps can cost families their jobs, housing, health insurance, driver’s licenses, education, and access to essential services. They also cause American employers to lose trained workers.

Subject: Protect Ukrainians Displaced by Russia’s War

Dear Representative / Senator:

I am your constituent, and I urge you to protect Ukrainians who lawfully sought safety in the United States because of Russia’s war.

Approximately 510,000 Ukrainian nationals are living in the United States under various temporary statuses, including nearly 240,000 who entered through Uniting for Ukraine (U4U). Many are working, paying taxes, supporting their families, and contributing to American communities, but they remain unable to return safely while Russian attacks continue.

I respectfully ask you to:

1. Senate: Cosponsor S. 5490. House: Cosponsor H.R. 10740. This legislation would extend and redesignate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukraine through July 1, 2029. Redesignation would update the eligibility date, allowing qualifying Ukrainians who arrived after August 16, 2023 and are present in the United States when the legislation is enacted to apply for temporary protection from removal and employment authorization. The legislation would also require TPS and related employment authorization applications to be adjudicated within 90 days.

2. Senate: Cosponsor S. 5521. House: Cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act. This legislation would create a pathway to lawful permanent residence for eligible Ukrainians who meet admissibility and security-vetting requirements. It would also protect eligible applicants from removal while their applications are pending and provide relief from processing fees.

3. Urge U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to expedite pending TPS, U4U re-parole, and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) applications; prevent interruptions in employment authorization for timely filers; and align EAD validity with the underlying TPS or parole period.

4. Support reopening U4U to eligible sponsors and beneficiaries and reissuing travel authorizations to Ukrainians approved before the program was suspended.

5. Support interim protection from removal for Ukrainians with valid parole, TPS, or pending applications who pose no public-safety threat.

6. Restore Refugee Support Services and Transitional and Medical Services funding and provide clear federal guidance to employers and state agencies.

Russia’s war is not over. Please act now to preserve lawful status, employment, and stability for Ukrainians displaced by the war.

Sincerely,

Your name
