John,

Last Thursday, Senators Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) and Lindsey Graham
(R-South Carolina) introduced the **Dream Act of 2023**
<[link removed]>.
Closely resembling earlier iterations of the Dream Act, this bipartisan
bill would provide Dreamers with protection from deportation and an
opportunity to obtain legal status.

If enacted, the Dream Act of 2023 would resolve ongoing legal challenges
to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and offer Dreamers
permanent legal status, allowing them to continue living and working in
the U.S. without fear of deportation.

**Urge Congress to pass the Dream Act and provide permanent legal
protections for Dreamers.** <[link removed]>

Approximately 600,000 DACA recipients are living in limbo as they wait
for the courts to rule on the

. With DACA's future in doubt, a permanent legislative solution from
Congress would finally end the uncertainty that DACA recipients and
other Dreamers face, allowing them to continue living in and
contributing to the country that is their home.

Dreamers are vital to our communities and need permanent legislative
solutions now. With DACA's temporary protections subject to reversal
by future presidential administrations and/or termination by court
decisions, Dreamers need Congress to provide the certainty they deserve.


An **overwhelming number**
<[link removed]>
of Americans from across the political spectrum support legislation from
Congress that would provide a permanent solution for Dreamers and let
them continue to contribute to our communities. The Dream Act of 2023 is
an important, bipartisan effort to provide certainty and stability to
DACA recipients and other Dreamers.

Facing threats from the courts, DACA's days appear to be numbered.
Congress must act quickly to provide permanent solutions to Dreamers,
who are contributing so much to America. The introduction of the
bipartisan Dream Act of 2023 comes at a crucial time and demonstrates
that bipartisanship is still possible in this new Congress. We can't
afford to give up hope and we can't afford to let Dreamers down.

Now, it's up to Congress to act. **Tell Congress to protect Dreamers
and support the Dream Act.** <[link removed]>

Thank you for your support,

Jennie Murray
