What you need to know about DACA, right now.

On September 5th, 2017, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, on behalf of the Trump Administration, announced an end to the DACA Program.

1. Your DACA is valid until its expiration date.

2. No New DACA applications will be accepted.

3. DACA Issuance’s and work permits expiring between now and March 5, 2018 must be submitted for renewal by October 5th, 2017.

4. Advance parole to travel abroad is no longer available.

5. We are united in this fight.

You are not alone. We mobilized, organized, and marched five years ago for DACA, and we will continue to do everything in our power to protect immigrant youth and their families across the country. Visit weareheretostay.com for resources to help you and your loved ones take care of themselves in this difficult time as well as information on what you can do to take action now.
