One Colorado: You can stop 40K LGBTQ youth from being deported

By Laura "Pinky" Reinsch, Political Director, One Colorado
 
Right now, thousands of young people -- including over 40,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals and their families -- are at risk of being separated from the lives they have worked tirelessly to build.

Take a stand today and tell your representatives to pass a clean DREAM Act to protect these young people and their families.

In 2017, nearly 15,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) holders lost their DACA status. Every day, more DACA recipients across the country are subject to being detained and deported to countries they barely remember. For some, this means being sent into potentially violent situations because of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

These aspiring Americans are our commuity, family members, friends, and co-workers. It's up to us to defend thousands of LGBTQ immigrants!

We must respond loud and clear: CLICK HERE to tell your representatives that DREAMers deserve to stay.

Thanks for standing with LGBTQ youth.
