Our objective: Pressure 5 GOP representative in California to do the right thing on DACA by passing a clean DREAM Act. ART NOT WAR ran a 3 month campaign for the ACLU in Southern CA aimed at raising awareness and pressure on 5 GOP reps that were wrong on DACA, with an end goal of getting CA residents and influencers to tweet and call the 5 GOP reps. These calls would demand a clean supportive vote on DACA, and warn these GOP reps that their seats were at stake in the next election.
