Friend,

You have to see this.

FWD.us is one of 50 organizations who have signed onto United We Dream’s amicus brief for the Supreme Court DACA case. Amicus briefs are legal documents that parties with a strong interest in a case can submit to the court, and we’re using ours to show the impact of DACA on Dreamers like Manny.

United We Dream put together videos bringing the positive impact DACA recipients like Manny have on our communities to life. We will share these stories with the Supreme Court, so take a look and make sure your friends see them today.

The 22 stories in the amicus brief demonstrate why #HomeIsHere for every DACA recipient — myself included.

There’s Manny, also known by his stage name MannyWellz, who recently won a Grammy Award for American Dreamers: Voices of Hope, Music of Freedom.

And Angelica, an entrepreneur who wants to open up her own mechanic and detailing business with her daughter.

And Maricruz, the daughter of agricultural workers who is now a 3rd grade bilingual education teacher in the same school district where she grew up.

We launched #HomeIsHere with coalition partners to protect DACA recipients like me, Manny, Angelica, and Maricruz at the Supreme Court. Our stories demonstrate the far-reaching impact of DACA. They show DACA recipients providing safety and stability to our communities, and the different ways we contribute to those communities — as doctors, teachers, chefs, and artists.

These stories are also crucial to the Supreme Court case because they show the impact of the Trump Administration’s unlawful termination of DACA.

Watch and share United We Dream’s DACA recipient videos today.

Manny’s story, and those of other DACA recipients, need to be heard. Including them in the amicus brief we’re filing ensures the Supreme Court will see them. Now we need to make sure others see them as well.

Thank you for standing up for Dreamers,

Maria Praeli
