Summary of Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (H.R. 6)
The Dream and Promise Act of 2019, H.R. 6,[2] would establish a roadmap to U.S. citizenship for (1) immigrant youth and (2) current or potential holders of (a) temporary protected status (TPS) or (b) deferred enforced departure (DED). H.R. 6 would provide conditional permanent resident (CPR) status and a roadmap to lawful permanent resident (LPR) status and, eventually, U.S. citizenship for immigrant youth who entered the United States before age 18, have four or more years of residency, and graduated from high school (or the equivalent). The bill also would provide an opportunity for people who currently have or who may be eligible for TPS or DED and have three or more years of residence in the U.S. to apply for LPR status and, eventually, U.S. citizenship. The bill passed the House of Representatives on June 4, 2019.

On Thursday, June 18, 2020 SCOTUS released their final decision on DACA. It’s good news! The Supreme Court has sided with immigrant communities and has stopped Trump from ending DACA this year. This means DACA will survive for now..
Please join us during our Home Is Here Digital Rally, Monday at 1PM, and find out how to show up for DACA recipients and all immigrants.
Now that the decision is out, it’s important to remember that DACA was a victory which changed the lives of over 800,000 of undocumented youth and their families.
There is power in numbers, and more supporters are needed to stand up with the Dreamers! Please share and invite your family and friends who are ready to show up for immigrants!
#HereToStay.
Good and Gracious God, we thank you for the resiliency of the Dreamers, for their courage and ability to share gifts under challenging conditions. We come together in gratitude for their service to our communities and great contributions to our nation. As adults, many have created their own families with children, children who are citizens.
We hold in prayer legislators who determine the future of these young people. May they pass humane and comprehensive legislation, providing Dreamers their long awaited citizenship.
While awaiting for a resolution on DACA we pray that hope not be lost. May Dreamers know of our support, love, action and prayers. We stand in solidarity with them, their families and our communities.
Good and Gracious God, continue to give us the wisdom and strengthen to be a voice on their behalf.
