Silvana Magda / Brazil Week, PO BOX 129, NY, NY 10185 The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) provides hope, opportunity, and protection for immigrant youth. Thanks to DACA, kids who have always known this country as their home can live, work, and go to school without the fear of deportation or being separated from their families. But the administration is considering ending DACA, sowing fear and uncertainty for these young people who are American in every way but on paper. DACA recipients make huge contributions to our country -- they are becoming teachers, joining our armed forces, and strengthening our economy. Turning our backs on these youth is misguided, cruel, and violates our core values as Americans. We must stand up to defend DACA and the nearly 800,000 recipients who benefit from the program. Tomorrow, August 15th, OFA is joining forces with United We Dream to protect DACA and immigrant youth. Check out the details and say you'll attend: What: Defend DACA Day of Action Where: 725 5th Avenue New York, NY 10022 When: Tuesday, August 15ᵗʰ 5:00 pm Jack Shapiro Director of Policy and Campaigns Organizing for Action     Se necessário, entre em contato: relacionamento@petrobras.com.br Quer conversar com a gente?

It was really fun being on a team with all my friends and for us all to collaborate.” Marcelle,11, New York City “The camp provided my daughter with an opportunity to do what she loves--coding!  She was challenged by the social-impact theme of the project, she gained confidence from successfully creating an interactive game, and she further developed her leadership and team-building experience by working with her fellow coders." Judy Villeneuve, New York City The New York Academy of Sciences is proud to offer an Intro to Coding Camp for middle school students (those entering 5th–8th grade).
