Hi friend,
I’m Diana Pliego, a Federal Advocacy Strategist at the National Immigration Law Center, and DACA transformed my life.
In fact, DACA has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of people over the past 12 years, providing opportunities to work, to study, and to contribute to our communities without the constant fear of deportation.
However, DACA recipients also live with constant uncertainty. They must renew their status every two years, each time facing the possibility of a court decision that could threaten the future of DACA.
Right now, we are bracing ourselves for another court ruling after Judge Hanen's decision to close the program to new applicants. This is a critical window for DACA recipients to renew their applications — but the $555 application fee can be a significant barrier for many immigrant youth and their loved ones.
That's why we are reaching out to you today. We need supporters like you to contribute to the DACA Renewal Fund, which can help lower the financial barrier of applying for many young people.
Friend, your contribution to the United We Dream DACA Renewal Fund will make a tangible difference – 100% of it goes towards covering the $555 renewal fee, ensuring that DACA recipients can continue to thrive in and contribute to the country we know is home. Will you make a donation today?
Thank you for your continued support.
