Friend,

When the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the termination of DACA on November 12, the justices will have the stories of DACA recipients, our families, and our communities fresh in their minds.

That’s because everyone from teachers to doctors and nurses, to national security officials and legal experts, to more than 140 business leaders have signed on to friend-of-the-court (“amicus curiae”) briefs expressing their support for Dreamers.

How will these amicus briefs supporting Dreamers work? To help those of us who aren’t lawyers make sense of the process, we put the explanation into a comic strip. Check it out now:

The doctors, teachers, artists, and business leaders who have signed amicus briefs are urging the Court to protect DACA recipients and stand with us, reflecting the opinions of the overwhelming majority of Americans who support Dreamers.

It’s a crucial way to make sure the Supreme Court Justices understand the depth and breadth of support for each side in cases of monumental importance like this one — the justices review every single amicus brief.

But people who might not be legal experts (or a Supreme Court Justice) need to understand this process, too. It’s a key way to show support for Dreamers right now.

Share this comic to spread the word about how amicus briefs will inform the Supreme Court about Dreamers and our stories.

The Supreme Court Justices have the power to protect the DACA program from the Trump Administration’s attempts to terminate it. Their ruling will decide whether Dreamers can work and support our families in the country we know as our home. Amicus briefs will allow the Court to hear firsthand how my fellow DACA recipients and I are working every day to make this country a better place.

Thank you for standing with Dreamers today,

Maria Praeli
