National Campaign to Restore DACA's

Advance Parole 2019 Report

We are pleased to publish our 2019 National Campaign to Restore
DACA’s Advance Parole Report, to document our accomplishments
and pledge to continue leading in 2020 the struggle to reverse the
government’s discriminatory practices against Dreamers.
Moreover, this report also outlines our commitment to advocate
for mental health services that are direly needed by immigrant
communities throughout the U.S., due to the fear and emotional
suffering induced by the government’s persecution.

We also want to thank again our sponsors and donors for their
generosity, and all the senators and congress members that
signed letters in support of restoring DACA’s Advance Parole
throughout 2019.

~ Prof. Armando Vazquez-Ramos, CMSC President and CEO
