Spread the word about the American Families United Act

Post often on your favorite social media platform. If you don't already have a Twitter account please consider starting one! Using Twitter to raise awareness allows us to have a presence in the immigration space and engage with DC offices of leadership (even if we're not their direct constituents) and the press!  

Here are some Twitter tips:

  • Start out by following your three elected officials in DC: your 2 Senators and 1 Congressperson
  • Follow us, too! @amerifamsunited
  • Also follow these three Senators: @SenatorDurbin @SenAlexPadilla @SenSchumer
    They hold the most power when it comes to decisions made on how the Senate will chart its course on immigration reform
  • Search hashtags (#) like #Reconciliation, #Immigration, #waiverequity to see who's saying what about these topics. You'll find links to news articles, statements from DC offices, and members of the public weighing in.
    • Reply to some of these tweets with a little bit of a personal message, and then include some hashtags that make sense (see examples below) and tag us @amerifamsunited
  • Example hashtags:
    #hr1698
    #immigrationreform
    #waiverequity
    #citizensmarriedtoimmigrants
    #immigrantsmarriedtocitizens
    #mixedstatusmarriage
    #Reconciliation
    #familiesbelongtogether
    #nomoreexile
  • Don't forget about the press! Find reporters, news producers, broadcasters, etc to follow and tag them in your tweets using "@xxxx" (their Twitter handle).
