Yesterday’s viral #SaveDACA campaign has stretched into today, with DREAMers continuing to share more their inspirational stories with our nation’s leaders. Sen. Dick Durbin — who, along with Senate Democrats, kicked off the hashtag yesterday — briefly mentioned the campaign during a floor speech today, saying that the #SaveDACA was viewed by millions of Americans and was a top trending topic throughout the day.
