Organizing for Action
Friend --
There are 800,000 immigrants in the U.S. known as DREAMers -- young
people who were brought to America as children and know this country
as their only
home -- whose futures are under threat.
They've been put at risk by an administration that is reportedly on
the verge of ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
program that
shields these young people from deportation.
These kids did everything we asked them to.
They bravely came forward. They submitted to -- and passed -- rigorous
background checks. They complied with every step of DACA for five
years. And it
worked: We got people out of the shadows so they could contribute to
our communities, and we used valuable immigration resources elsewhere.
In exchange, we made a promise to protect them.
This administration is threatening to break that promise by
terminating DACA -- and we need to speak out. Say you'll join the
fight and stand with the
DREAMers today. OFA will be in touch over the next few weeks with ways
you can help.
These 800,000 DREAMers aren't faceless. We know them. They're the
children who play with our own kids; college students who study law
and environmental
policy; our neighbors with small businesses; and service members in
our military.
I met with some of them this week and I can tell you this: They're Americans.
I am going to do everything I can in Congress to protect them. But
this has to be a larger fight -- if you showed up to the Women's
March, or fought back
against the Muslim travel ban, or made yourself heard in the fight to
save Obamacare ... we need you.
We need each other more than ever. Now is the time.
OFA is ready to fight back. Over the next few weeks, they'll keep you
updated on the latest news around DACA -- starting with a call this
Thursday -- and
plug you into events on the ground where you can make an impact.
Say you'll stand with DREAMers now:
I'll fight
Thanks,
Kamala Harris
