Birthright Citizenship

Join us

For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has provided a simple rule: if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Birthright citizenship means that everyone born here is a full and equal American, regardless of their race, religion, or family circumstances. For generations, this principle has enabled families to put down roots, pursue their dreams, and build a stronger America.

Today, President Trump is threatening birthright citizenship and is attempting to rewrite who belongs here with a stroke of a pen. With his executive order, the president wants to subvert the Constitution, Supreme Court precedent, and Congressional law.

Digital Rally: Defending Birthright Citizenship

Join us on March 26 for an informative and engaging session on how civil rights defenders of all backgrounds can show up for this fundamental right—and for each other—leading up to the pivotal Supreme Court decision. Asian Law Caucus and partners will share key legal and advocacy updates, along with collaborative opportunities to raise community voice on the day of oral argument, in anticipation of the ruling, and beyond.

If the Supreme Court allows its implementation, Trump’s executive order would wreak havoc on the daily lives of all Americans - from the hospital to the voting booth. In a future where political whims decide who is denied or granted citizenship, we would see increased bureaucratic hurdles, widespread profiling and discrimination and that more of our neighbors have fewer opportunities.
