With the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, DACA-mented individuals are falling out of status by the thousands and becoming targets for detention or deportation. But believe it or not, momentum is on our side! The support to pass a permanent, legislative solution for the over 3 million DACA-eligible youth is stronger than it has ever been. Today working people all over the country are calling on Congress to do their jobs and pass a clean DREAM Act, as it is written without amendment, to defend and protect Undocumented immigrant youth and their families.

You, too, can be a part of this fight - take action below.
