We ask that President Obama meet with us in The White House because he has stated that he would sign the DREAM Act if it was placed in front of him. Our walk across the country may be coming to an end, but the process to reintroduce a more comprehensive DREAM Act as a stand alone bill is just beginning.
Why is this important?
The Campaign for an American DREAM is a grassroots organization lead by undocumented youth. For seven and a half months, we have endured a journey from San Francisco to Washington D.C., creating dialogue around the passage of the Federal DREAM Act and immigration reform. In our long and strenuous journey for this cause, we have promoted the values of equality, unity, and diversity. We believe all people are equal, all those who are oppressed should be united, and that individuals should not be punished, but recompense for their hard work as individuals. We have united hundreds of communities across the nation by sharing our struggles as undocumented American's, allowing people to fully comprehed the obstacles of undocumented youth.
Our journey commenced on March 10, 2012 and will come to an end on November 2, 2012. Throughout these past few months we have created productive dialogue around the plight of undocumented youth in both small towns and big cities across different states. We have educated communities and opened up spaces where communities came together and discussed the opportunity of creating a better society for undocumented youth via the passage of the Federal DREAM Act. But most importantly we have empowered other undocumented youth to not feel isolated in a nation we call home.
We have walked nearly 3,000 miles in hope that we can overcome this obstacle and have also put a halt on our lives in order to shed light on this issue. Deferred Action is not enough, its a step in the right direction but will not solve the existent broken immigration system for undocumented youth in America.
