Defend DACA Recipients

The University of California has taken its fight to protect DACA all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Will you stand with us? UC has challenged the Trump Administration’s decision to abruptly end DACA, the policy that has allowed nearly 700,000 young people who were brought to the U.S. as children to live, work and study in the only country they know as home.

How to Stand Up for DACA Today

• Join the "I Stand With..." Campaign:
  • Write why you support DACA recipients on the "whiteboard" titled: "I stand with undocumented students because" or "I stand with DACA recipients because."
  • Take a photo of yourself holding your message. 
  • Share your picture on your social networks. Use the hashtags #UCDACA and #UCSFStandsUp! 

We want the entire country to know that the UC community stands with DACA recipients. Find out more about UC's efforts to stand up for DACA.

Stay tuned for more advocacy opportunities.
