Dear Young Gifted & Black Community,
In 2012, President Obama and other law makers enacted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA. This gave undocumented individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children protections and the ability to obtain work permits. These individuals, also known as Dreamers, are our friends, colleagues, students, and community members. The population of Dreamers is estimated to be at 800,000 and children of DACA recipients are estimated to be at 200,000.
45 has called to end DACA, putting our most vulnerable community members in jeopardy of losing their children and their livelihoods.
We must RESIST this decision and stand with the Dreamers in our community.
There is a DEFEND DACA Rally scheduled for today, Saturday, September 9th to take to the streets to protest this decision.
This event is organized by Dreamers of UW-Madison and others DACA recipients along with allies. We must uplift their voices and show solidarity with them.

Here are their requests and a schedule for Saturday:
