Faith & Justice Team encourages everyone to take the following action as a follow-up to our recent forums on immigrants & refugees:
Ask your senator to support the Dream Act of 2019
From now through spring 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court is deliberating on several lawsuits stemming from termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Lutherans have long supported young people who have come to the United States, known as “Dreamers.” ELCA Advocacy activity has supported the American Dream and Promise Act of 2019, which passed in the House and includes a path to citizenship for DACA recipients. Learn more about this issue at elca.org/advocacy and use this letter template in urging your senators to stand alongside young adult immigrants by supporting legislative protection for DACA recipients.
