How to Contact Your Representative to Protect DACA / Dreamers

The Issue

What's at Stake

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program protects approximately 580,000 people who were brought to the United States as children from deportation and provides them with work authorization. The program has been under sustained legal challenge, and in 2026 its future remains uncertain as courts continue to rule on its legality.

Congress is the only body that can permanently protect Dreamers through legislation. The Dream Act, which would provide a path to permanent legal status for DACA recipients and other undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, has been introduced repeatedly but never passed. Your representatives' votes determine whether Dreamers get a permanent legislative fix or remain in legal limbo.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DACA?

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is an executive program created in 2012 that protects eligible undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation and provides them with renewable work authorization. It does not provide a path to citizenship.

What is the Dream Act?

The Dream Act would provide a path to permanent legal status and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, have lived here for a significant period, and meet education or military service requirements. It has been introduced in nearly every Congress since 2001.

Does calling about DACA make a difference?

Yes. DACA has generated significant bipartisan constituent support, and sustained pressure from constituents who know Dreamers has moved members in both parties toward supporting legislative protection.
