After my father was killed in Guatemala, I and my younger sibling escaped for a better life in America. I was only 7 years old. We made the trip here without our family by our side like so many other children do. It was a nightmare I wish for no one. Thanks to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program I was able to come out of the shadows and really build a life here. I’m now in my early 20’s, in college and work part time to help pay for my education.
But now President Trump has ended the DACA program because of pressure from extremists. That means that 800,000 youth like me could be deported at any moment. For me, this is not a political game, it’s my life. I need you to join me and help save DACA by contacting Congress today!
Add your name, and we’ll deliver the following the following message to Congress:
For immigrant youth, DACA means safety, it means being able to earn a paycheck to buy medicine for your mom, it means peace of mind, it means opportunity. In a sea of bad news, DACA is a shining light of good news and we have to save it.
