Pass the Dream and Promise Act Now

Javier is a DACA recipient and part of the nearly one million Dreamers working as essential workers during the pandemic. As a nurse, he spent months working on the front lines in a unit that was so full of COVID patients that it ran out of beds. DACA has given him many opportunities, but without a pathway to citizenship, he and his family are living their lives in 2-year increments. He remains at risk of being ripped out of his job and separated from his wife and 1-year-old daughter.

The Dream and Promise Act is headed towards a historic vote in the House of Representatives that would provide a permanent pathway to citizenship to over 3 million Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status holders, and Deferred Enforced Departure recipients like Javier. It is vital for protecting families and ensuring millions of individuals, many working in essential industries like healthcare and agriculture, are able to fully contribute to the response and recovery from COVID-19. It’s a critical first step toward much-needed relief for all 11 million undocumented community members who call the United States home.

The House of Representatives must vote to pass the Dream and Promise Act to create a pathway to citizenship #ForOurFamilies.

Take Action

House Democrats voted in November 2021 in support of millions of American families by passing the Build Back Better Act. The immigration relief included in this bill will ensure that millions of undocumented immigrants who have been in the U.S. for an average of 20 years will be able to access work permits and protection from deportation, keeping them safe and together with their loved ones and allowing them to continue to contribute to our country and our communities. Now, it is up to President Biden and Senate Democrats must ensure that immigration relief is in the final legislation.

For years Congress has failed to deliver the pathway to citizenship that we all know is desperately needed and millions and millions of people across America deserve so much better than this. Democrats have an obligation to take any and all steps necessary to ensure they do not allow this moment to be another failure. Now the Senate must finish the job. No more excuses. 

In the meantime, call your member of Congress today and say thanks for the House passage of the Build Back Better bill.
