Bernardo,
June 15 will mark 14 years of DACA, yet the future of hundreds of thousands of our neighbors has never felt more uncertain.
Close to 340 DACA recipients have been detained in the last year. Nearly 90 of them have been deported and torn from their families and communities. Thousands more are losing their jobs, healthcare, and driver’s licenses everyday due to prolonged renewal delays.
Sandra is a DACA recipient who has been waiting for her DACA renewal since November 2025. In January, her work authorization and protections lapsed, leading her to be suspended from her job. As a single mother of four, she is her family’s sole provider. Her children’s father was deported last May, and now, prolonged DACA renewal delays are putting her family at risk once more.
Bernardo, whether it’s prolonged delays, challenges in court, or the increasing threat of deportation, the DACA program is being dismantled before our eyes. DACA’s slow death is making it impossible for our neighbors to plan for their future and for our communities to thrive.
Without a pathway to citizenship in place, families like Sandra’s will continue to see their safety and future at stake. And, millions of working people who rely on DACA recipients, as our teachers, nurses, neighbors, will pay the price too.
✍️ Now is our time to unite and urge our members of Congress to pave a pathway to citizenship that will protect the lives of working people. Will you join thousands of us in taking action to call on Congress to support the Dream Act?

We face the most dangerous moment in DACA’s history, but our power has never been stronger.
Right now, most working families — immigrant or not — are already struggling to make ends meet. Most of us are able to relate to the feeling of not knowing if we’ll be able to afford the rising costs of groceries, rent, and healthcare. We’re calling for a pathway to citizenship because we know it’s the key to keeping our families, workforce, and communities intact.
After our Community Call last week, our neighbors have already volunteered to host over 50 letter-writing gatherings around the country, and they’ll be delivering their handwritten letters to their members of Congress on June 15. The more of us who take action, the harder it will be for Congress to ignore our demands. ✊
Will you grow our power and send your own letter to urge your members of Congress to support the Dream Act? Help us meet our goal of delivering 30,000 letters to Congress.
In power,
Nico and the UWD team
