For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has provided a simple rule: If you are born in the U.S., you are a citizen.
That right is under attack.
Tomorrow, April 1, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on birthright citizenship — a high-stakes case that could determine whether this fundamental constitutional right is protected.
For over 150 years, the rule has been simple. If you are born in the United States, you are a citizen regardless of the color of your skin, religion, or your parents’ circumstances. Birthright citizenship has enabled generations of children to pursue their dreams and build a stronger country.
This decision will lay out whether the administration can end the 14th Amendment and strip citizenship from millions of people born in the U.S. to immigrant parents. It hits hardest for people already struggling to get by — the working families who power our country, for whom citizenship means access to work, health care, schools, social services, and housing.
The efforts to end birthright citizenship are deliberate. If they can control who “gets to be American,” then they create a permanent underclass of everyone else.
Once a president can rewrite who is and isn’t a citizen by executive order, no one's status is truly secure — and right now, it’s our job to ensure that birthright citizenship remains intact.
Now is the time to come together, organize, and uplift our communities. Will you pitch in to United We Dream today to fuel our fight to protect birthright citizenship?
