Rise Up 4 DACA Los Angeles

Start: Tuesday, September 05, 201710:00 AM

THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE WITHIN TWO HOURS AFTER AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

President Trump is the only person who can save or doom the DACA program and in doing so impact the lives of so many young immigrants.   A decision is expected this Tuesday. Join hundreds of community members who stand to defend DACA in Los Angeles. CHIRLA and many other organizations and allies welcome you.

Over the past five years, DACA has provided 800,000 immigrant youth protection from deportation, the opportunity for higher education and jobs, and more stability to our communities. Similarly, TPS has aided over 300,000 immigrants from Africa, Haiti, Central America, Syria, Yemen and other countries that have suffered from major catastrophes.

September 5th is the deadline that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and 9 other right-wing politicians have given Trump to end the DACA program. This is an artificial deadline but the President is eager to please the ultra right and the anti-immigrant base.

That's why on Tuesday, September 5th, cities and states across the country, thousands of immigrant youth and allies will continue to take to the streets to demand the Trump administration protect the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) and the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) programs.

DACA recipients, immigrants protected under TPS and our allies have a message to the Trump administration: We have won before, we will win again, and we are #HereToStay.
