The CMSC's Campaign to Restore DACA's Advance Parole, direly needs your support to advocate at the national level during January 14-17, 2019 in Washington, D.C. and we plea for your donations and sponsorship, as well as your participation.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 to defray the travel cost for 10 Dreamers confirmed as participants in the CMSC's delegation at $500 each. Other delegations, such as the San Diego Border Dreamers are also raising funds, and we are supporting their efforts to join us.
We believe that continued denial of Advance Parole for DACA recipients is causing irreparable harm, it's inhumane and discriminatory. For that reason, we are committed to take our advocacy to the national level, motivated by the support and leadership of Reps. Alan Lowenthal and Nanette Barragán.
On Tuesday, December 11, 2018 Congress members Alan Lowenthal (CA-47) and Nanette Barragán (CA-44) led a coalition of 14 Members of Congress on a letter urging Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen to restore the ability of DACA recipients to travel abroad with an Advance Parole authorization.

Dreamers seek to reactivate DACA's Advance Parole travel permit through congress
EFE-USA ~ December 21, 2018
Los Angeles, California (EFEUSA)-- A group of young activists from California will visit federal congress members during January 15-18, 2019, in search of support to reactivate "advance parole," the permit for so-called "dreamers" to travel abroad and return to the U.S. legally, one of the organizers told Efe today.
Members of the California-Mexico Studies Center (CMSC), based in Long Beach, California are advancing a campaign to reactivate the permit, suspended by the federal government together with the DACA program in September 2017.
California congress members Alan Lowenthal and Nanette Barragán, lead a coalition of 14 members of the House of Representatives, which sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on December 11, 2018, requesting the reactivation of advance parole for Dreamers.
