#defenddaca
These last several weeks have been a very trying time for undocumented people in the United States.
Here, Julio Salgado tries various methods of relaxation as he grapples with stress and anxiety, but like the DREAM Act and C.I.R., things don’t necessarily turn out the way he wants.

New video, featuring the amazing @yosirey. To view and share video from our YouTube account, please go to bit.ly/1800savedaca, or click on link in our bio section.
DACA has been rescinded by the Trump administration. This has meant that DACA recipients from across the country have seen their inboxes flooded with media requests. As the moment is important for many, journalists, media makers, and content creators -who are on deadlines- often lose sight of the fact that undocumented people are actually living this moment in a very real and personal way.
We created this video as an attempt to ask of those journalists and media makers to examine their real intent in telling undocumented stories, to ask them to respect the agency of those who become subjects of those stories, and as a call-out to all undocumented content creators to CREATE YOUR OWN MEDIA!

A short lesson from @karnythia.
I feel like even if this wasn’t a majority white country, white supremacy would still definitely function in a way that preserves itself.

#DefendDACA: Donald Trump announced that he is repealing the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which allows immigrants who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. Many undocumented minors will be at risk of being deported to a country they know nothing about. New York, a city of immigrants, showed up at Foley Square to stand with immigrants and defend DACA.
we will always fight for you dreamers.

Today is a long one. You should do each of these separately and not in the same letter if you are writing.
–Call/fax your Senators and Congressional representative and tell them you OPPOSE HR 620, which would allow businesses more freedom to not comply with disability access and would put the burden of asking for access on the disabled. (URGENT– this is on the docket for TODAY)
–Call/fax your Senators and Congressional representative and let them know you OPPOSE the Graham/Cassidy/Heller ACA repeal.
Key points to bring up: (choose one or two that matter to you most if you don’t want to write or say too much)
–This repeal is estimated to cause a spike in premiums of up to 20% in one year.
–This repeal is estimated to allow 32 million Americans to lose health insurance.
–This repeal gets rid of the Medicaid Expansion which covers about 11 million low-income Americans.
–This repeal will gut pre-existing condition protections.
–This repeal will gut women’s healthcare and family planning in the guise of “pro life” actions but the blow to women’s health affects care far beyond abortion.
–End by asking them to support Medicare for All or a similar single payer program.
– NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA 12TH DISTRICT: Call/fax Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi and tell them that you will not accept a border wall as part of a compromise effort with Trump over the DREAM Act. Reiterate that you will only accept a clean DREAM Act that protects ALL immigrants who were brought here as children (not only those who are able to go to prestigious universities or get high-paying jobs in lucrative industries) and that does not tear families apart.
–Demand more transparency on their meetings with Trump and make it clear that while you understand the necessity of private discussions among lawmakers in typical situations, based on Trump’s reputation, you do not feel comfortable with private meetings in this case.
You can do this with other Democratic Senators and Representatives, too, but Schumer and Pelosi need to hear us express concern that they may be compromising on things that are unacceptable to their constituents.
–Call or fax your Senators and House Rep. (You can text “resist” to 50409 and it will walk you through the steps)
–If they have spoken out in favor of DACA or the DREAM Act, thank them for their support and tell them that you support them in this work.
–If they have not, or have spoken against it, tell them that you support DACA and that this is an issue that matters to you, and you would like to hear them voice support for it.
–Tell them that you believe that DACA must be extended until the bipartisan DREAM Act can be passed, that you want to see action on the DREAM Act and that you would like their support for Rep. Coffman’s BRIDGE Act, which will extend DACA for up to three years.
–Tell them that the final version of the DREAM Act *must* protect all people who came to the US as children and *must* keep families together, and that these points are non-negotiable (there is some talk that Republicans may try to pass a “lite” version of the DREAM Act so it is worth specifying these two points).
