Friend, as we approach the 11 th anniversary of DACA, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible
movement and people power it took to achieve one of the greatest civil rights
victories of this century.

Winning DACA did not happen overnight — it was years in the making. June 15 th represents the culmination of years of advocacy, rallies, and courageous
activism led by immigrant youth across the country who kept fighting for
justice:

In the years leading up to DACA and in the years after it was announced, as
politicians have tried to kill it, we have fought vigorously alongside immigrant
youth to advance their rights and dreams. Together, we have persevered with
resilience, unity, and determination.

Now, as we face yet another politically motivated attempt to upend DACA, we must
use this moment to rally together, leverage our collective voices, and fight for
our ultimate goal: a permanent solution which will provide a pathway to
citizenship for immigrant youth.

Folks, looking ahead to DACA’s 11 th anniversary on
Thursday, join us in sending a message to Congress that young immigrants in this
country have lived in limbo for too long, and we refuse to wait any longer. It
is on Congress to take decisive action and pass a pathway to citizenship without
delay >>>

and we are truly grateful for your continued commitment to justice.
