A national immigrant youth-led community fighting for justice and dignity at the local, state, and federal level. It empowers young people to make their voices heard and win, helping them show politicians and the country that their #HomeisHere. Although the Supreme Court blocked the current administration's attack on the DACA program, there is still no permanent solution for Dreamers. They are our neighbors, teachers, students, friends, lawyers, caregivers, and doctors and should feel safe and welcome in the U.S. -- in their home. Now is the time for Congress to step up and not only protect 700,000+ DACA recipients and their families but provide a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants.
