Help the Deferred Action Waiver Fund

from Mohammad Abdollahi, DreamActivist.org

Today we are launching a fund to help DREAMers pay for their deferred action filing fee. Each month we are going to select two activists and award each of them a check for $465; enough to apply for deferred action.

The Deferred Action Waiver Fund (otherwise known as “DACAF”) is a fund set up to award undocumented activists with a scholarship to cover their Deferred Action fee. We recognize that many of the activists we work with on a daily basis do not have the financial means to apply for Deferred Action and so this fund will try to meet the needs of these activists.

Sponsor a DREAMer for $15, $25 or $35 - Support the DACA Fund

The Deferred Action announcement by president Obama has propelled DREAMers from across the country to come out. Just yesterday Benita Veliz became the first ever undocumented person to address the Democratic National Convention. We first met Benita 3 years ago when she was fighting her deportation; not only did she stop it but she is still here to represent us on a national stage! ICE messed with the wrong DREAMer!

Our goal for the month is to raise $930, enough to award two fee waivers. That means we just need 60 people to donate at least $15 each and we are there. Can you support the DACA Fund this month?

In addition to trying to provide as many fee waiver scholarships as possible we'll also be partnering with qualified immigration attorneys and advocates to provide other services. So if in one month we don't have the donations to cover an activist's entire fee, then maybe we'll instead have an attorney willing to file the application for free.

Will you help us sponsor a dreamer like Benny for just $15!

Thank you for helping us keep this fight going.

Much Love,
