Friend,
Last week, we marked 14 years since the first DACA applications were accepted on August 15, 2012 — a milestone made possible by the relentless organizing of immigrant youth. We were told protections like DACA could never happen. We organized, persisted, and proved otherwise.
Fourteen years later, roughly 455,000 people hold DACA — and its protections have never been under greater threat.1 These ongoing attacks are why United We Dream's efforts to move Congress to vote on the Dream & Promise Act this session are critical.
United We Dream is organizing every day to protect our communities. This work relies on supporters like you. Please chip in $14 — one dollar for every year of DACA — to fund the organizing behind calling on Congress to deliver a pathway to citizenship.
DACA recipients were promised protection from deportation. Instead, this administration is dismantling the program through a thousand calculated cuts: renewal delays that strip people of work permits while their status quietly expires, and a cruel mass delegalization agenda that reaches TPS holders, refugees, and asylum seekers too.
Our fight has always been bigger than any single program. No one should have to build a life on borrowed time — not the DACA recipient or TPS holder pushed out of status, and not the U.S. citizen teacher watching costs climb while those in power look out for their billionaire donors.
We have faced fear and uncertainty before. Time and again, we have responded with courage. That resilience runs in our veins. It's why we'll secure a pathway to citizenship.
These are our communities. This is our home. When we come together, we make the impossible possible — will you chip in $14 today?

Thank you for being part of this movement. We've proven time and again that we're stronger when we organize together.
— Aria, United We Dream
