Across the country, #DACA recipients celebrated their hard-fought victory at the Supreme Court and highlighted the need for Congress to act swiftly and pass the Dream and Promise Act. Our fight is far from over — #Dreamers need permanent protections. #HomeIsHere #HR6
Kenia, a Colorado #Dreamer, describes her reaction upon learning the news of the Supreme Court’s decision on #DACA: “I feel like I can breathe again, just a huge sigh of relief. I feel so grateful and blessed.” coloradoindependent.com/2020/06/18/dac… via @COindependent #HomeIsHere #HR6
“It’s an amazing decision but the fact is we need a permanent legislative solution for #DACA recipients & the rest of the undocumented population in this country & that’s on Congress.” @AceOutWide, #Dreamer & Communications Coordinator @DefineAmerican #HR6 msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/da…
"This is a big win for us. I know that undocumented people don't usually receive big wins like this. But even though we did win...we have to continue fighting for those people that don't have a voice or don't have #DACA." — Maylin, a Florida #Dreamer wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/post/supreme-c… #HR6
“This decision has reaffirmed that, yes our #HomeIsHere, and it’s time for Congress to also enact that into law.” — @rdrigopimentel, Rhode Island #Dreamer via @Newsy #HR6 newsy.com/stories/suprem…
“Espero que el Congreso tome acción para que ya pasemos una ley que sea concreta.” — Andrea, TX #Dreamer via @Univision univision.com/noticias/inmig… #HomeIsHere #HR6
"Exhorto al Senado a que lleve a votación la Ley de Sueños y Promesas que aprobó la Cámara y que lo haga lo antes posible. Queremos seguir...aportando a las comunidades que amamos y contribuyendo al único país que consideramos nuestro hogar." — @JuanSaaa univision.com/noticias/opini…
"En realidad me da mucha felicidad que la Corte Suprema ha dado un fallo, que va dar mucha tranquilidad a muchas familias...Ahora hay que ponerle presión a la administración para ver que ellos implementen esta decisión correctamente." — @s_crvnts via @Telemundo #DACA #HomeIsHere
"I am calling on President Trump to do the right thing for the nation and not make another effort to repeal DACA. Instead, the President should direct DHS to reopen #DACA." — @SenatorDurbin #HomeIsHere #HR6
“Regardless of what this Administration [does] we will never give up fighting for justice — and we know that millions of advocates and allies across the country stand with us in this fight.” — @jaime_rangel91, GA Immigration Associate @FWDus saportareport.com/trump-on-dream…
.@jaime_rangel91: "We will continue to fight against mass incarceration, immigrant detention, and the pervasive policing that targets Black people...The Court’s decision strengthens our resolve as we fight against these injustices together." #DACA #HomeIsHere #HR6
“The #SCOTUS ruling was only possible because of the courage and resiliency of hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients who bravely stood up and refused to be ignored. It is a decision we will fight to protect." — @FWDus President @TheToddSchulte #HR6

Our work is far from over. The Senate MUST provide permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for #Dreamers and #TPS holders. Will you join us and continue fighting for them? Message your Senators to pass #HR6 NOW. #HomeIsHere fwd.us/action/supreme…
