#HomeIsHere: Fighting For The Future of DACA & All Immigrants

See Their Stories

The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on the future of DACA and DACA recipients, and the justices could make a decision any time between now and June 2020. Meanwhile, every eligible person — like those whose stories you’ll see here — should renew their DACA as soon as possible. Your #HomeIsHere.

In the fall of 2019, United We Dream produced nine videos with DACA recipients from across the country for the #HomeIsHere campaign. Each video looks at immigrants holistically: as educators, hip hop artists, friends, mothers and more. These individuals speak about their hopes, their fears, and of moments of joy. They make it clear that no matter the Supreme Court decision, their home is here and they are here to stay.

    For a long time I felt ashamed of who I was, being undocumented. Dancing really helped me express my emotions.

    My family sacrificed so much so that my sister and I could thrive. With DACA I’ll be able to provide healthcare to the communities in my hometown. I have hope because my community has never left my side.

    DACA isn’t the story of just me. It’s the story of a lot of other people.
