Women Creating Change Applauds SCOTUS DACA Decision

“For the 700,000 DREAMers who have known no other home, today’s Supreme Court decision is an important step toward a secure future, and a signal to those individuals that their lives and contributions to this country are valued.

At WCC, we know the voices and contributions of DREAMers and others in the immigrant community are invaluable, but too often have been undermined and ignored. As an organization, we aim to do our part to ensure their voices are heard. We commend the organizers, advocates, and immigrants who made today’s decision possible, and whose tireless efforts have ensured more girls and women will have the opportunity to create change in their communities. Our country— which is now, and always has been, made stronger because of immigrants—will be a better place because of it."

Women Creating Change (WCC), formerly known as the Women’s City Club of New York, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan activist organization dedicated to advancing women’s rights and shaping the future of New York City. Founded in 1915, WCC works to advance gender and racial equality by equipping women of color, women experiencing financial hardship, and gender-expansive individuals, with the knowledge, tools, and resources to advocate for the issues that matter most to them. WCC collaborates with partners, policymakers, and advocacy groups to drive real change in economic opportunity, education, healthcare, safety, reproductive justice, and environmental justice. WCC connects women with key stakeholders to learn, act, and engage. We empower women to lead change, shape policy, and strengthen communities, redesigning systems for a more equitable New York City. At WCC, we believe every woman has the power to make a difference. Visit wccny.org.
