PIVOT Celebrates the Decision on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
/June 18, 2020
PIVOT celebrates today’s major victory with our DACAmented community, as we laud our nation’s decision to choose humanity over injustice. Today’s Supreme Court ruling recognizes that immigrants are interwoven into the fabric of America’s society.
As Vietnamese immigrants and refugees and their children, we stand in solidarity with these DACA recipients. As we breathe a sigh of relief, we know our fight continues. For the other 11 million immigrants who still face deportation. For our Black community whose lives are senselessly taken by police brutality and systemic racism.. For our LGBTQ+ community who face ongoing discrimination and violence for just being. As we celebrate this momentous victory, let us commit to continuing the fight for our collective liberation.
Let us protest. Let us kneel. Let us act in true solidarity. Let us fight for permanent legislative reforms. Let us vote. For those who cannot do so, and ultimately for all of us.
