The $20 suggested donation includes:-Access to the privately reserved fire pit and lounge-Bottomless s'mores-Photobooth-Donation to the National Immigration Law Center-More to come! About DACA:On Tuesday, September 5th, 2017, Jeff Sessions announced, during a press conference, that the White House plans to "rescind" DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). For those who may not know, DACA is an immigration program which was signed in 2012 under former President Barack Obama's administration. The program functions as a temporary respite for the young and undocumented immigrants of America by delaying deportation for them, helping Dreamers by giving them a chance to study and work in the United States.About NILC:Established in 1979, the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) is one of the leading organizations in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of immigrants with low income.At NILC, we believe that all people who live in the U.S. should have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
