Call now: Tell your Members of Congress "Let Dreamers stay!"


The clock is ticking for Dreamers.

Every day an estimated 122 Dreamers are losing their right to legally work, study, and even drive in the United States. Call your Members of Congress and demand a solution that lets Dreamers stay and contribute to the only country many of them have ever known.

Deporting Dreamers is as harmful to our economy as it is heartless:
1.3 million young people are DACA-eligible
They are paying more than $3 billion in taxes and are using more than $13 billion in spending power to fuel our local economy
DACA-eligible entrepreneurs earned $658.7 million in business income in 2015 alone

Click here to make a call to Congress using statistics for your state.

Congress needs to act now.

Take Action:

1) First, enter your address and zip code below.

The contact info for your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators will appear.


2) Once their numbers appear, call your Representative and tell them the following:

"I'm [Name] and a constituent of Representative [Name]. I urge him/her to support a solution for Dreamers now. Dreamers have proven that they're law-abiding, hard-working young people by submitting to rigorous background checks and serving in the military or working towards a college degree.

In the United States, 1.3 million DACA-eligible young people are paying more than $3 billion in taxes and using more than $13 billion in spending power to fuel our local economy.

These are exactly the kinds of immigrants we should be supporting, not deporting. Let’s fulfill our promise to allow these outstanding young immigrants to fulfill their potential and work towards their American Dream. Thank you."

3) When you're done with your Representative's office, call your two Senators at their numbers and tell them the following:

"I'm [Name] and a constituent of Senator [Name]. I urge him/her to support a solution for Dreamers now. Dreamers have proven that they're law-abiding, hard-working young people by submitting to rigorous background checks and serving in the military or working towards a college degree.

In the United States, 1.3 million DACA-eligible young people are paying more than $3 billion in taxes and using more than $13 billion in spending power to fuel our local economy.

These are exactly the kinds of immigrants we should be supporting, not deporting. Let’s fulfill our promise to allow these outstanding young immigrants to fulfill their potential and work towards their American Dream. Thank you."
