Call Your Senators - Save CHIP and Pass the Dream Act
Legislators have until today to fund the government, and Democrats are demanding that any funding deal include a re-authorization of CHIP (the Children’s Health Insurance Program) and DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), both programs of which are set to expire in March.
If these programs are not saved, millions of American children will lose their health insurance and Dreamers - young Americans who were brought to the country as children, due to no fault of their own, yet remain undocumented - will be deported.
There is widespread public support for both programs. If Republicans simply do what they said they would, there would be no need for a government shut-down. They promised that they would re-authorize CHIP and pass a clean Dream Act, but now they are essentially holding the programs hostage.
Call your Senators tonight and tell them to re-authorize the Child Health Insurance Program and pass the Dream Act: 844-551-6766.
