HR 8438 The Belarus Democracy, Human Rights, and Sovereignty Act of 2020 (
full text version and other details) passed the House. However, due to other political priorities it cannot get a vote as a standalone legislation. The bill is now under consideration to be included as an amendment to the omnibus appropriations bill. This means that if included, contents of HR 8438 would be enacted but as part of another law.
Although there is little opposition to the bill, there are other pieces of legislation not related to appropriations that are being pushed as amendments. Your Members of Congress and Senators must know that HR 8438 is the top priority to be added to the omnibus appropriations bill.
We need everyone in your household to write and call every day until the amendment gets added. This means that every US citizen or permanent resident adult needs to send 3 electronic letters every day.
