President Obama: Stop the deportations – Keep immigrant families together!
President Obama,
You have the power to provide immediate relief to end the unnecessary suffering of our families. You must act now - expand DACA and stop the deportation of aspiring Americans.

Why is this important?
Our immigrant and faith communities across the country are appalled by the daily deportation of 1,100 aspiring Americans. This separation of families is a moral tragedy, and as people of faith we cannot stay silent. Many immigrant families - like all families - are seeking better lives for their children, investing in communities, and contributing significantly to our economy and workforce. Tragically all across the country these families are being needlessly separated by detention and deportation, most of whom would benefit from pending legislation that has already passed the Senate but has lingered in the House of Representatives for a year. No one of good conscience can let this continue to our neighbors, congregation members, colleagues, and friends.
We need President Obama and his administration to act now.
