STAY INFORMED
First step towards action is education. Learn about undocumented youth and the DREAM Act, so you can be prepared to inspire change.
DEFINE AMERICAN
What does it mean to you to be an “American” today? Share your stories about our broken immigration system, by recording a short video, uploading a photo, or writing your thoughts.
BAND TOGETHER
Use your tech powers to organize online in support of the undocumented youth movement, and spread the word via social media to help further the cause. Or find a group near you and organize in person!
APPLY FOR DEFERRED ACTION
On June 15, 2012, Obama announced a policy change called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) which would stop the deportation of some youth and provide them with work authorization. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals does not put you on a path to citizenship – learn what it does and how you can apply.
RAISE YOUR VOICE
Contact your elected State officials to support immigrant rights, and call your Congressmen to support undocumented youth.
