Why would the U.S. deport Prerna Lal away from her friends, U.S. citizen family, and promising future? Let's raise our voices (and some cash!) in support of this dedicated Change.org blogger, law student, and DreamActivist founder.

Prerna should be receiving her green card by now, not a deportation notice!

For those of you who don’t know her, Prerna Lal is a George Washington University law student who helped found DreamActivist, the immigrant youth-led DREAM Act hub that has inspired a new generation of organizers. Prerna sits on the board of Immigration Equality and is also the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions, including this year's South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) ChangeMaker Award.

Here at Change.org, Prerna has been both a fierce advocate for human rights and instrumental in stopping several deportations, where families would have been torn apart. Most recently, Prerna pushed for a policy change to stop denying green-cards for same-sex bi-national couples.

Now Prerna finds herself in a nightmare of court dates and removal proceedings, hanging by a thread that could separate her from the rest of her family for the forseeable future. What's more, Prerna's parents are permanent residents. Prerna is the grand-daughter of U.S. citizens. In fact, Prerna is the only undocumented person in four generations of American citizens. Four generations!

Prerna should be busy preparing for law school exams, not a deportation defense. Please sign the petition to stop immigration officials to demand Prerna Lal be able to remain in this country -- with her family, friends and future. Tell these officials that enough is enough, that it's time to stop tearing DREAM Act-eligible youth like Prerna away from their communities.

Also, please chip in what you can to help cover Prerna's legal fees over at DreamActivist.org. You can donate easily by clicking here, and no amount is too small.
