About the Act: Bridging the Gap for New Americans Act 

Organizational Sign-Ons Needed:
Bipartisan legislation calling upon the U.S. Department of Labor to study and address the systemic barriers that impact the employment of immigrants and refugees who hold international credentials is moving through Congress. The House of Representatives voted to include the Bridging the Gap for New Americans Act in the National Defense Authorization Act for two consecutive years, and the Senate just passed the bill in June. Help us maintain the momentum as this legislation continues to advance in Congress.

Please add your organization’s name to this growing list of supporters by August 12.
