Hey friend!
I’ve sent you a couple of emails in the last month to let you know that you have a chance to submit a public comment in support of DACA and a pathway to citizenship. Today, I’m reaching out because you only have until Nov. 29th (Monday) to submit your comment and support immigrant youth like me.
For background: Back in September, a 60 day public comment period opened up for DACA as a result of the Biden Admin's proposed new rule on the program. But! This new rule leaves open the possibility of removing work permits for thousands of immigrant youth.
In response, we’re asking folks to submit comments to show that DACA is not enough and that we urgently need a pathway to citizenship! Can you take a moment to submit a comment because the public comment period ends on Nov 29th?
SEND YOUR COMMENT
Friend, as a DACA recipient myself, the legal uncertainty I’ve experienced through the courts has been cruel. The temporary protection I gain through DACA has been vital but permanent protections (aka citizenship) will give me and millions of others like me the ability to thrive!
Protections for me and my undocu community CANNOT end with DACA. President Biden and Congress have the power to deliver a pathway to citizenship this year!
So, let’s remind them of their power! Submit a comment here and together, let’s get closer to making a pathway to citizenship a reality for me, my loved ones, and my undocu community!
Let’s make our voices heard,
Mari and the rest of the UWD Team
