White House
Senator John Hickenlooper will join President Joe Biden at the White House to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA was created to support those who were brought to the U.S. as young children and have continued to live here since but lacked legal status. The program offers them the right to work, pursue an education, and fully contribute to our economy. Since 2012, DACA has supported more than 800,000 DREAMers, including over 13,000 recipients in Colorado.
Colorado Governor
Governor Polis applauded President Biden for taking action to provide relief and streamline citizenship processes for DREAMers and other undocumented immigrants on the 12th anniversary of DACA. I thank President Biden for expanding pathways to citizenship for Dreamers and others who have been in the U.S. for more than a decade. Here in Colorado, we know that our immigrant community is an important part of our community, our culture, our economy, and our success, and this is a critical step toward fixing our broken immigration system. I continue to call on Congress to follow the President’s lead and secure the border and pass comprehensive reform,” said Colorado Governor Polis.
Denver Mayor
Helping more than 1,500 Denverites get off the streets and into safe and stable temporary housing, the city’s All In Mile High initiative (AIMH) continues to bring transformation to the city. Through the All In Mile High initiative, which represents a significant strategic shift in the way the city addresses unsheltered homelessness, the City and County of Denver has not only increased positive outcomes, but brought tangible transformations of peoples’ lives and to the looks and feel of the city. “Thanks to the heroic work of our city teams, service provider partners, and people across the city, we’ve seen a tangible difference in our city and in the lives of countless Denverites,” said Mayor Mike Johnston.
