Celebrities like Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui — born in Miami to Cuban expatriates — are taking to social media to petition for a #CleanDreamAct from Donald Trump, whose recent xenophobic comments on El Salvador, Haiti and African nations served as a catalyst for today’s nationwide unrest. You can sign said petition here.
Others like veteran comedian John Leguizamo and British singer-songwriter Estelle have also tweeted their solidarity with individuals who are undocumented, while the likes of actor Matt McGorry voiced his pro-immigrant stance on Instagram. Juanes, Demi Lovato and even rapper Logic have also previously called for the protection of DREAMers.
#CleanDreamAct NOW We demand that a secure and honorable chance at life be granted to Dreamers. It is an embarrassment to call ourselves the land of the free and have so many solidiers dying in vain for a land that is circumstantially free. PLEASE SIGN https://t.co/vweke1kUMH
