Ethiopian Adoptees Soccer Team - EAST

*** URGENT!!!

Tell Congress to close the loophole and pass the Adoptee Citizenship Act of 2019 before it expires!

Through no fault of their own, some people who were adopted internationally by U.S. citizen parents still lack U.S. citizenship today. As a result, these individuals have had to endure numerous problems including difficulty attending college, accessing banking services, or starting their careers. Without their rightful citizenship, they are unable to vote or access critical government supports and services such as the unemployment benefits that helped so many families during this time of financial crisis.
