The NCLR Staff Went to the Supreme Court to Fight for Families!
This week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for United States v. Texas, the case that could decided whether President Obama’s administrative relief programs, DAPA and expanded DACA, can be implemented.
At a rally outside the court, thousands gathered to “Fight for Families,” and to make sure our voices are heard. In attendance were grassroots organizers, Members of Congress, and thousands of advocates. The entire NCLR staff was also there to hear remarks from our President and CEO, Janet Murguía.
Take a look at some of the social media highlights from the day.
