John, 

In a victory for immigrants, allies, and DACA recipients across the country, today, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration’s termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (or DACA) program was unlawful.

This is news that many of us hoped would come, and many of us worried we’d never hear.

The decision is a significant victory for all Americans, but especially for the young immigration activists and DACA recipients who have fought tirelessly for this outcome for years.

This decision means that Dreamers, including the 29,000 DACA recipients who are working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response as health care professionals and over 200,000 more who are supporting their communities in critical infrastructure roles, will—for now—continue to be able to live and work in the U.S. without the overwhelming fear of deportation.

But, DACA recipients are not out of the woods yet.

The Trump administration’s agenda of white nationalism has made it clear that they have plans to deport as many people as possible. Which means the decision may only be a temporary setback for an administration hellbent on ending DACA.

That’s where you come in.

The Supreme Court decision today provides critically needed breathing room for millions of young people around the country, but only Congress set up permanent solutions to put Dreamers and other young immigrants on a pathway to citizenship.

Tell the Senate to pass H.R. 6, “The American Dream and Promise Act” today.

Immigrant activists made the case that Dreamers were here to stay. They reminded us through storytelling and all forms of protest that their #HomeIsHere. This win is a testament to their power.

Today’s decision confirms that DACA should be allowed to continue and that the Trump administration’s nativism cannot act as immigration policy.

The Senate must step in and pass the American Dream and Promise Act immediately. Such legislation would put Dreamers, as well as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, on a pathway to citizenship. Such legislation would put Dreamers, as well as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, on a pathway to citizenship.

Today we saw a victory. And we will continue to fight to protect all immigrants in our country from deportation until every person, regardless of immigration status, can live and thrive in the United States without fear.

Will you join us?

Take action today.
