National Mobilization to Demand #CleanDREAMAct & Protect TPS!
Wednesday, December 6, 2017
By canceling DACA, Trump has put 800,000 young people at risk of losing their jobs and being deported from the only country they know as home. This is beyond heartbreaking - it's cruel. Passing the bipartisan Dream Act would protect them.
GET ON THE BUS!
Join us and our coalition partners as we fight against the inhumane end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Central Americans while demanding a comprehensive Dream Act. Let’s keep families together rather than ripping them apart. Join this national mobilization and make your voice heard!
“DREAMers and their families are WELCOME HERE!”
