Immigration Reform
Welcome to the Cities for Action Immigration Reform Webpage!
The below tools and resources have been created to help local governments and community advocates uplift support for immigration reform. Please check them out!
Immigration Reform Video Series
The following videos highlight the personal stories of Karen- a DACA recipient, Isha- a Documented Dreamer who faces aging out of status, and Jose- a TPS holder from El Salvador. Their stories highlight the substantial contributions they have made to their local communities and underscore the importance of protecting and improving DACA and TPS as well as creating clear pathways to citizenship for all of these groups including Documented Dreamers who lose status when they turn 21.
