This week’s Good News from the Resistance: We’ll be frank: There was no Good News today. After Jeff Sessions announced that 45 was repealing DACA, we simply did not have the heart to publish Good News. And then … We attended an impromptu rally, where we heard many DACA recipients speak about how their lives will change as a result of this hateful action. So we pulled up our Big Girl pants and got back to work. This issue of Good News from the Resistance is dedicated to all of the DACA-mented and un-DACA-mented immigrants who make America great. In their honor, we will simply give you the facts of what happened today, and let you know what you can do to turn horrible news into Good News:
- 5 things you should know about DACA
- Learn about the DREAM Act of 2017: How you can turn hope into reality
- Applaud the documented & undocumented students arrested today in NYC
- Call, tweet, email these elected officials
- Thank resister Martin Vidal
- Show up at a rally to support immigrant youth
Sign Up. Show Up. Never give up.

DACA
Here’s what you need to know about DACA, and what was lost today.
WE THE DREAM ACT OF 2017
It was introduced in July, by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), and Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The bipartisan bill would provide a direct road to U.S. citizenship for people who have DACA — and more.
WE THE BRAVE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO GOT ARRESTED TODAY IN NYC
And we thank the thousands who marched across the Brooklyn Bridge in their support.
WE TELLING OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO
Here’s a Dream Act toolkit that makes it oh so easy. Just do it.
