Camila Bortolleto
Are we adding in the beggining a review of the immigration action announcement and/or DACA/DAPA? To put it into context?
Adam Luna
Need something celebratory about DACA or how we got here. Many people on this call will be new to all of this. We want people to leave feeling pumped
Camila Bortolleto
We have a collage slide we've used in the past that has photos of how we got to DACA. Should I plug it in here or email it?
Camila Bortolleto
We can frame it as, we won DACA, we won on Nov 20, and we will win against this lawsuit?
Adam Luna
Add new Slide #2 about UWD, who we are, etc. If the call is successful, many of the people won't know the UWD story
Overview of the lawsuit
What you need to know:
• 26 states filed a lawsuit
• WRONGFULLY claim that DACA+ & DAPA
are unconstitutional and ‘burden to their
states’
• Strategically picked Judge Hanen
Adam Luna
It's 26 Republican politicians around the country - this map makes it like most of the country opposes this. we want people to come away feeling like the lawsuit is political, not that entire states are against them. (we say "states" and know what it means but that's insider perspective)
Adrian Reyna
Here is an opportunity to test a survey/poll type interaction. "Are you from any of the states in red?" Here the organizer can talk about the moment of now, and lift up the urgency.

Current DACA Remains Unchanged
Adrian Reyna
Here is another opportunity to get to know our audience: "Who here has DACA already?" This will let us know how effective our outreach & engagement went to reach outside of DACA population.
