Mobilize in March! Meet with Your Senators and Ask Them to Protect Dreamers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JFI Colleagues,
We need your help showing support for Dreamers and encouraging our lawmakers to
protect Dreamers!
Mobilize in March to visit your Senators and ask them to protect Dreamers.
On November 12, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) heard oral arguments on the
legality of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and is expected
to issue a ruling on the legality of the DACA program in late April-June.
The Catholic Bishops continue to express their support for Dreamers and sent letters
to the House [[link removed]]
and Senate [[link removed]]
supporting legislation to protect these young people from deportation and family
separation.
At the 2020 Catholic Social Ministry Gathering (CSMG) in January, the DREAM Act
was the migration legislative ask that hundreds of event participants advocated
for in meetings with lawmakers during the CSMG Advocacy Day. Many thanks to those
of you who met with lawmakers last month and asked them to support the DREAM Act
and protect Dreamers.
As the SCOTUS DACA decision date approaches, we ask you to continue to voice your
support for Dreamers with your Senators in local meetings during the Congressional
recess next month, which is March 16-20 [[link removed]],
2020.

* Use the talking points [[link removed]]
that CSMG attendees used in their Hill meetings and leave behind the DACA backgrounder
[[link removed]]
in your own meetings.

Please feel free to send us questions and also tell us how it went- email [email protected]

In Solidarity,
Tony Cube
