Hear from experts. Learn how you can fight anti-immigrant policies.

Around the world, record numbers of people have been displaced by conflict and oppression. Anti-immigrant sentiment has fueled closed-borders policies. In the U.S., immigrant communities are under attack while the government further militarizes the border. The Trump administration is eliminating the DACA program, and it is uncertain whether a durable legislative solution for DACA beneficiaries will emerge. Yet public support for immigrants is also growing, and the public is more engaged with immigration policy than ever. Public opinion on immigration is fiercely divided, blocking legislative solutions.

In this volatile environment, what is the way forward for immigration policy? Can DACA be saved or replaced? What can you do to defend immigrant communities right now?
