Dear Women's Marchers: DACA's Gone. Keep Your Promise To Make Trump's Life Impossible

On June 28, 630 people were arrested in a women-led march against the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy. Those arrested, including Democratic Congressional Representative Pramila Jayapal and actress Susan Sarandon, were charged with unlawfully demonstrating after staging a sit-in in the Philip A. Hart Senate Office Building. More than 2,500 women from 47 states had poured into DC to participate in the action.
Bob Bland, co-president of the Women's March, said nonviolent civil disobedience is a strategic tactic that is critically needed in this moment, both to continue placing pressure on Donald Trump's administration and to hold Democratic legislators to account.

Last weekend, the Women's March threatened to make Trump's life impossible if he ended DACA. Today, Trump's Attorney General officially announced the end of the program. The lives of 800,000 young immigrants and their families now hang in the balance. Women's Marchers, I'm asking all five million of you to keep your promise.
First, let's make sure we're on the same page about what that'll mean.
"Making Trump's life impossible" will not happen by tweeting at the Attorneys General who petitioned Trump to end DACA, or by calling members of Congress to demand that they publicly defend immigrants (as this Twitter thread the Women's March posted suggests). Sharing a story of "how a DACA recipient has positively contributed to this country" won't cut ...
