Hello John,
With uncertainties around the fate of the DACA program and another election season around the corner, we recognize the urgency to rally support for Congress and the Biden Administration to take action now and work toward permanent solutions for undocumented people.
On May 8, 2024, the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary held a full committee hearing, titled Dream Deferred: The Urgent Need to Protect Immigrant Youth. Sixteen DACA recipients shared their stories in writing, and 13 immigrant rights organizations, including Immigrants Rising, joined together to write a joint statement through the Home is Here Coalition. We also submitted a statement on May 15, 2024, highlighting the urgent need for legislative relief for undocumented young people and the contributions they have been making to their families, communities, and this country. You can read the full statement here.

We appreciate everyone who courageously shared their personal stories, DACA’s impact on their life, and the importance of Congress taking urgent action for a stronger, sustainable tomorrow for all.
You can still voice your support and advocate for comprehensive immigration reform by urging your representatives to support permanent solutions for undocumented individuals. Together, we can turn our shared vision into a reality where all undocumented individuals have the opportunity to thrive and contribute fully to our society.
