Sample Script: I'm your constituent from [
City, State]. As a person of faith, I support Dreamers. I strongly oppose President's Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. DACA has provided nearly 800,000 immigrant youth the opportunity to work, raise a family, and pursue their dreams. Congress must do everything in your power to protect immigrant youth - I am calling to urge the [
Senator/Representative] to support a clean passage of the Dream Act of 2017 (S.1615 / H.R.3440).
Call 3 times to connect to your 1 Representative and 2 Senators.
