In response to the Trump administration's commitment to rescind DACA, The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), our national affiliate, is providing a mechanism to collectively urge our elected officials to pass a "clean" Dream Act, preserving the rights of DACA protected young people to work and remain in this country.  As of mid-September, over 12,000 letters have been sent in this way.  Send your letters here:  https://actionnetwork.org/letters/urge-congress-to-pass-the-dream-act
