US Capitol

Can't Make it To DC on November 2? Support the effort from Colorado

Please do the following on November 2:

1. Call your two Senators and your Representative. If you do not know their direct numbers, you can reach them through the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 225-3121. Once connected to the office, ask to speak to the person to handles H-2B issues and tell him or her how important the H-2B program is to you. Ask them to:
        • Re-instate the H-2B returning worker for the remainder of fiscal year 2017 and for fiscal year 2018.
        • Ask your Senators to cosponsor S. 792, the bipartisan “Save our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act.”
        • Ask your Representative to cosponsor HR 2004, the “Strengthen Employment and Seasonal Opportunities Now (SEASON) Act.”
        • If your elected officials have sponsored H-2B legislation, written letters in support of the program, or assisted you with H-2B processing issues, say “thank you” and encourage them to keep up the fight.
2. Tweet about the need to pass H-2B cap relief. Encourage Congress to Act by using #saveH2B and directing tweets at your elected officials. Get sample tweets from ALCC at @coloradogreennow.
3. Encourage your employees, co-workers, customers and other local businesses to call and tweet their local officials. 
Please Respond to Cato's H-2B Survey By November 1

Finally, if you have not done so, please take a few minutes to complete the H-2B Survey being conducted by the Cato Institute before November 1. This survey will give you the opportunity to share your perspective with people who shape H-2B policies in Washington, D.C. Please rest assured that your responses will be kept anonymous and private, and your personally identifying information will not be disclosed unless you specifically request to be named in the report. Please click here to participate in the survey.
