President Trump announced his plans to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program earlier this month. Under the program, people brought to the United States illegally as children were given protections from deportation, and were able to get work permits. Now the future of 800,000 DACA recipients hangs in the balance as Trump has given a six-month delay before he begins to dismantle the program. Congress and the American people have until March to take action to protect DREAMers.

Here is what you can do to stop the deportation of DACA recipients:

  1. Contact your representatives
  2. Support businesses that are renewing DACA applications
  3. Help immigration nonprofits
  4. Know the rights of DREAMers
  5. Stay informed
