February 4, 2021, Washington, DC-National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) applauds the reintroduction of the Dream Act by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Dick Durbin (D-IL). NCJW Chief Policy Officer Jody Rabhan released the following statement: 

“As an organization that works to improve the lives of women, children, and families, National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is encouraged to see a bipartisan solution to give Dreamers (young immigrants brought to the United States as children) a path to citizenship. We call on Congress to swiftly pass this important legislation, and are grateful to the tireless advocacy and leadership of Dreamers who have worked to get Congress to this point.”
