Family Unity Rights and Protection Act

Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA-37) has introduced H.R. 6236, the Family Unity Rights and Protection Act. This act would:

• Require agencies to reunify children who were separated from their families as a result of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance policy” as soon as possible.
• Require parental notification regarding process and procedure pertaining for the return of their children.
• Prohibit the termination of parental rights without actual notice to the parents, wherever they may be.
• Establish a family registry to aid in reuniting children separated from their parents.

Action:

1. Contact your MoC to ask them to be a co-sponsor and to support HR. 6236.

2. If your MoC is already a co-sponsor, contact them to say thank you.
