Indivisibles, 

WHAT A WEEK FOR SCOTUS! 

This is one of those rare joyous moments that we love to share. Since 2012, DACA has provided protection from deportation and the ability to work and live without fear for over 825,000 young immigrants. Today, The Supreme Court protected DACA, a victory immigrant youth fought decades for. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s white supremacist agenda and sided with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival) recipients and helped protect immigrant youth and our families from Trump’s deportation force.

Since Trump took office in 2017, immigrant youth, our families, and allies have been fighting to protect DACA. We celebrate today alongside our partners leading the fight like United We Dream, National Immigration Law Center (NILC), and many more immigrant-led movements. This victory is for every young undocumented person whose life has been threatened by Trump’s racist rhetoric and callous policies for the past few years -- we shout, sing, cry with you because DACA is here to stay. 

We would be remiss not to mention that this decision comes down in a time that thousands of people are taking to the streets because of the murder of Black people at the hands of the police. While combatting anti-Blackness and systemic racism requires all of us to commit to action that brings about change, white supremacist politicians -- like Donald Trump and the Republicans who continue to support him -- hold a great amount of responsibility over the attacks on Black people, Black immigrants, and the immigrant community as a whole.

Learn, celebrate, and get ready for what’s next: 

The Trump administration must end their baseless attacks on DACA. DACA is Here to Stay and the majority of the American public agrees. Earlier this week we saw polling that across party lines the majority of Americans are in favor of immigrant youth in the United States. In order for this decision to stand, the American people have a choice to make this November.  

1. Join United We Dream in a virtual rally at 1PM on Monday! They’ll have experts and leaders in the movement joining to discuss and celebrate the latest decision. 
2. Defund the Police, ICE, and the CBP. The fight to defund law enforcement agencies continues! Call your local officials and demand that they defund the police and invest those funds in resources people need in Black communities, Indigenous communities, and communities of color.
3. Support the Payback Project to take back the Senate. We don’t see immigrant lives as bargaining chips and we don’t want another four years of state-sponsored violence. That’s why we’re working hard to kick 11 of the worst Republican Senators out of office this year -- this means running ads, creating resources, sending mail, texting voters, and more.  

For Trump, ending DACA was always a way to use immigrant youth as a bargaining chip for more money for his deportation force and racist border wall. Now that the Supreme Court has made its decision, it's up to us to continue to protect immigrants from deportation. Now, let’s get to it!
