Call on Congress to Protect Dreamers in Lame Duck Session
The League of Women Voters strongly supports legislation that would permanently protect recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Individuals who benefit from DACA live in every state around the country and contribute to their communities. For decades, they have lived in fear of deportation while hearing promises of reform. People who are protected by DACA deserve to have peace of mind regarding where they call home.
House and Senate leadership have stated that protecting the Dreamers is a high priority for the remaining time of the 117th Congress.
A true democracy includes fair and equitable immigration policies with a path to citizenship. With just a few short working weeks left this year, please call on your members of Congress to take immediate action to protect the Dreamers for once and for all.
