On June 18th, the Supreme Court blocked the president from ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act, or DACA. This means that children who were illegally brought into the U.S. when they were young are protected to stay here - for most, the only home they've ever know. In celebration of this decision, we are excited to release this conversation we had a few weeks ago with a DACA DREAMER from Portland, Oregon, about the issues she cares about as a young person and as a DACA recipient. She wishes to remain anonymous for her safety and the safety of her family.

This conversation was recorded remotely via online phone call, May 2020.

Conversation led by Carolyn Campbell. Edited and produced by Kat Stein and Carolyn Campbell. Music by Kat Stein.
