Supporting Our Undocumented Community Members

Aug. 15 marks the anniversary of the implementation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a policy that shields 650,000+ undocumented young immigrants from deportation. After the University of California successfully defended the policy in a 2020 Supreme Court ruling, DACA is yet again in question.

This issue is dedicated to all our undocumented community members, especially those not protected by the current DACA policy. Read through this week's offerings to learn more about opportunities to support our community.
