WASHINGTON—Cardinal
Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, president of the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops (USCCB), along with USCCB vice-president, Archbishop José H. Gomez of
Los Angeles, and Bishop Joe S. Vásquez, chairman, USCCB
Committee on Migration, have issued a call to U.S. Catholics and people of good
will across the nation to take part in a “Call-in-Day” on February 26 for the
Protection of Dreamers.

With
the March 5th deadline looming, we ask once again that Members of Congress show
the leadership necessary to find a just and humane solution for these young
people, who daily face mounting anxiety and uncertainty.

Therefore,
the bishops are asking individuals to contact their Members of Congress to urge
them to:

Protect Dreamers from deportation

To provide them a path to
citizenship

And, to avoid any damage to
existing protections for families and unaccompanied minors in the process

To
take part in the Call-In-Day to Protect Dreamers, please contact your Members
of Congress by calling 855-589-5698 and visiting https://justiceforimmigrants.org/what-we-are-working-on/immigration/daca-resource-page/ (English and Spanish downloads are
available).

The
USCCB has also created a series of videos available on its YouTube channel and Facebook.com/USCCB.
