DREAM Act, D.A.C.A., and T.P.S. 

AND THE AMERICAN DREAM AND PROMISE ACT HR6 (FEDERAL) ​

Picture

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients have been used as bargaining chips on a federal level by the Trump administration with an uncertain fate at times and with a bright path to status at other times. These temporary immigration relief are fundamental to those who have it as it has changed millions of lives now out of the shadows. Unfortunately, even with the few people that have this relief there are many more that could not qualify and were left out. Regardless the fight to keep DACA and TPS alive persists. As it stands right now DACA is no longer available for new applicants under Federal Executive Order and TPS has been moved to also end for certain countries. Organizations and leaders across the country have not stopped mobilizing to protect our immigrant families and now are calling for the passing of the American Dream and Promise Act (HR6) that looks to create a path to residency for DACA TPS and even those who qualify for legal permanent residency.  ​

​what sepa mujer did?

As with many campaigns, there is a huge need to explain, break down and make the critical ever evolving information of campaign changes and create targeted specific content and action items for the latino immigrant community. This is the task SEPA Mujer brought on for our Long Island community who is often times disconnected and neglected from larger organizations. We have also been participating in roundtables, coalitions and committee organizing on a local level around DACA/ DREAM Act specifically the Long Island Dream Act Coalition targeting Long Island Senators and stakeholders, organizing rallies and forums to bring attention to DACA and DREAM Act. This year we also joined efforts with the local organizing group  Pro Residencia TPS that’s in coordination with National Alliance TPS to support the grassroots organizing across Long Island. We organized rallies when the Journey for TPS bus arrived to Long Island, we marched together in Washington and have visited Congressman Peter King among others to fight for TPS holders!

What’s going on now and what’s next?  ​

HR6 is close passing, but we need to continue pushing. Call your NY Senator and ask them to stand up for HR6!

UPDATE

HR6 PASSES CONGRESS! NOW IT’S UP TO OUR U.S SENATE TO GET IT DONE AND PASS IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW! (7/10/2019)
