VIDEO. Ruby Bixby and Michelle Perez of the SF Dreamers Project share with us the impact of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which benefits 600,000 undocumented people, and its uncertain future in an upcoming case before the US Supreme Court.

Established in 2012, DACA is meant to protect certain undocumented people that arrived to the US as children from deportation and provide work authorization. While the program has provided over 900,000 people to live and work in the US in the last decade, DACA recipients do not have access to any federal benefits nor a path to citizenship. In this lesson, you will learn about the impact DACA has had as well as the future of the program, recently declared unlawful, as it will be in the hands of the Supreme Court in 2024.
