Dear Shaun
Key parts of SB1070 may have just been blocked by a judge but that means little for Marlen Moreno, a 26 year old DREAMer from Arizona who, in just 7 days, will be deported![]() !
Marlen was brought to the United States when she was only thirteen years old. She has been living in Tucson, Arizona for over thirteen years and, like many DREAMers, considers this country her home. Since the start, her parents told her to value her education and, through hard work, she was the first person in her family to graduate from high school. Marlen aspires to become a pre-school teacher because she believes education is the key to success.
In 2008, as she slept with her 8-month old son in her hands, ICE showed up at her house to detain her. She would spend the next four months in jail and detention all because she needed to work to provide for her family. She now faces deportation from the only country she knows. Worst of all, she faces separation from her husband, a legal resident, and her two sons, both American citizens.
Parts of SB1070 may be gone but the laws that came before it are still wreaking havoc on our communities and Marlen's story is only one of those stories. Now is our chance to change not only Marlen's fate but also the direction Arizona is going in. Despite what Arizona wants to say about Marlen she is still a DREAMer and just like we were able to stop Eric Balderas' deportation we will be able to stop Marlen's.
Take action now:
Sign Marlen's petition
Join Marlen's support group
Make 4 phone calls
Arizona is not the standard for immigration reform, take action now so we can show everyone what we mean when we say we want real meaningful reform and will stand for nothing less!
