Petition Against All In Opposition to DACA & TPS
DACA & TPS are under attack and we ask that you SIGN this petition in SUPPORT of protecting DACA & TPS.
Attorney generals from 10 states issued Trump warning that they would sue him if he does not end DACA by September 5th.
While DACA is currently under attack, it will continue to be in effect until further notice. This means that your current DACA is still valid until further notice.
We will be updating this page and providing you with updates.
Meanwhile we suggest:
1) Continue to RENEW if you are eligible to renew.
2) If you have NEVER APPLIED before, then you may consider applying at this time. HOWEVER, we highly suggest you speak to an attorney or reputable organization about your case.
3) Anyone that has DACA is outside of the United States with ADVANCE PAROLE (travel permit) should RETURN RIGHT NOW.
4) Carry a COPY of your WORK PERMIT everywhere you go.
*What is DACA? - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a kind of administrative relief from deportation. The purpose of DACA is to protect eligible immigrant youth who came to the United States when they were children from deportation. DACA gives young undocumented immigrants: 1) protection from deportation, and 2) a work permit. The program expires after two years, subject to renewal.
*What is TPS? - TPS stands for Temporary Protected Status. The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS. Read more: http://bit.ly/AboutTPS
Please join us by signing the petition.
*Your information will not be shared. We will reach out to you with updates and similar calls to actions as we continue to advocate for social justice. Thank you

[Your Name]
The public that DACA and TPS remain in effect and that all in opposition retract their attacks on DACA and TPS. By signing this petition I reaffirm that I support DACA, which has benefited over 790,000 eligible applicants. In addition, I stand in solidarity with TPS beneficiaries.
