DREAM Act Discharge Petition at 195 Supporters

Washington D.C. – As the deadline for the DACA program renewal comes to an end this week on October 5th, there is an effort to move the DREAM Act forward through a discharge petition to address the uncertainty that these youth will face when the program comes to an end in March 2018.
