Social Media Toolkit: Show Your Support for Dreamers

Undocumented students are a cornerstore of our college and university communities across the United States. With the future of DACA endangered, it is imperative that Congress passes a permanent, legislative solution to ensure undocumented students and other Dreamers can remain in the U.S. and contribute fully to their communities. We’re calling on Congress to protect Dreamers by passing bipartisan Dream legislation this year. 

Find several infographics and sample social media posts below, along with other ideas and resources, to help you and your campus show your support for Dreamers.
