Friend, the clock is ticking, and DACA is on borrowed time.

That’s why we joined hundreds of DACA recipients and advocates in Washington, D.C. this week to urge Congress to pass permanent protections for immigrant youth, which has become all the more necessary following the Fifth Circuit’s recent ruling.

For 10 years, DACA has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of immigrants who grew up in this country. Though this policy was an important step in the right direction — it was never meant to be a permanent solution. We created a video sharing information on DACA and why it’s urgent for Congress to act. As one of our supporters, friend, you’re getting an exclusive first look. Click to watch our video >>>

As a DACA recipient, I have personally felt the weight of living my life in two-year increments and having my future in the hands of anti-immigrant, xenophobic politicians. My future — and the future of all DACA recipients and immigrant youth — have been in limbo for too long. We deserve a permanent solution that provides stability and safety for us and our loved ones.

We are here to stay.

Will you join us in our week of action by checking out a sneak peek of our new DACA video? >>>

If you take one thing away from our video, we hope it’s this: Now is the time for Congress to pass a pathway to citizenship for immigrant youth. No delays. No excuses.

Thank you for being with us in this important fight. Look out for more opportunities this week to help us in sending a strong message to your elected officials.

Sincerely,
