So many young people in WA have reached out over the last few months to share their stories about how ending DACA would impact their lives & futures. Here are a few:

One young woman in Tacoma, Adriana, studied hard to become a nursing assistant, and is worried that letting DACA collapse would end her work authorization--a setback for Adriana & her community. #DreamAct

Another young person, a @WSU sophomore, plans to graduate in 2019 & was able to get a job helping adults with disabilities. Ending DACA throws her plans into chaos. #DreamAc

A business owner who applied for DACA shared that he was proud to finish his college degree & contribute his education, skills and taxes back to the WA economy. Now, his fate is uncertain. #DreamAct

It's not easy to speak up in these uncertain times--we owe our thanks to the countless DACA recipients who have bravely shared their stories, in WA & across our great nation, to highlight the critical importance of this fight to our communities. #DreamAct

I urge my Republican colleagues to think about these stories & the Dreamers in their states--show them that President Trump's reckless, divisive agenda doesn't represent us. #DreamAct"
