We are coming together as a community to call upon Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, as well as Representatives Peter Roskam (IL-6), Michael Bost (IL-12), and Rodney Davis (IL-13) to work with their respective parties to pass permanent protection for immigrant youth NOW. We need legislation without dangerous enforcement add-ons: no border wall, no more detention centers and no more deportations. We are going to share a message of love, unity, family, and why our communities urgently need legislation like the Dream Act. Seeing as we are quickly approaching Trump’s March 5th deadline, and each and every day 122 people lose protection, We will meet at the plaza of the Kluczynski Federal Building (intersection of Adams and Dearborn) on February 28 and share our messages and stories in front of the office building of Senator Duckworth and Senator Durbin. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come! Feel free to bring your own chants, posters, banners, and as much energy as you have! Chicago let’s throw down!!!
Hosted by: United We Dream Organizers Mo and Emilio, MeChA de UChicago, Students Organizing With Labor (SOUL), PanAsia, and more.
