On June 15, 2012, the Obama Administration announced that it would offer many DREAM Act-eligible youth temporary relief through “deferred action.” The memorandum offers hope to many eligible young adults by allowing them to chance to live and work in this country legally. The State of Illinois is home to over 75,000 DREAM Act-eligible youth. The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and the Illinois Department of Human Services have launched the DreamRelief Campaign to serve these young adults. Your contributions will be valuable in helping these young adults to apply for deferred action.
