Welcome to the official page of the Greater Carolinas Women's Center, the leading organization committed to promoting women's rights, empowerment, and social justice. Today, we stand in solidarity with the United States Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) as they call for a clear path to citizenship on the 10-year anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The Importance of DACA

DACA was implemented in 2012 to protect undocumented individuals who were brought to the United States as children. It provides them with temporary relief from deportation and allows them to work legally in the country. The program has been instrumental in improving the lives of thousands of young immigrants who have grown up in the United States, contributing to their communities and pursuing their dreams.

USCRI's Advocacy Efforts

As an influential advocate for refugees, immigrants, and asylum seekers, USCRI recognizes the urgent need to establish a clear and accessible path to citizenship for DACA recipients. USCRI is working closely with organizations like the Greater Carolinas Women's Center to push for comprehensive immigration reform that not only protects DACA recipients but also addresses the broader immigration system's shortcomings. Together, we are committed to ensuring a just and equitable future for all immigrants.

Our Commitment

At the Greater Carolinas Women's Center, we firmly believe in empowering marginalized communities, including undocumented individuals, to seek higher education, secure employment, and access the resources they need to thrive. We support USCRI's advocacy efforts and echo the call for a clear path to citizenship on this significant milestone for DACA.

Supporting DACA Beneficiaries

Since its inception, the DACA program has provided countless opportunities for young immigrants to contribute to their communities. DACA beneficiaries, also known as Dreamers, have pursued careers in various fields, including medicine, education, and technology, enriching the fabric of American society. A clear path to citizenship would enable them to fully realize their potential and continue making vital contributions to our nation's growth.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Alongside advocating for a clear path to citizenship for DACA recipients, USCRI and the Greater Carolinas Women's Center actively support comprehensive immigration reform. We believe in creating fair and just immigration policies that prioritize family reunification, protect asylum seekers, and address the systemic issues within the immigration system. By working together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive America.
