Students to Share their Immigrant Stories
Using YouTube on the Dreams Across America Website
WHAT:
Last week, a never before seen immigration mobilization effort focused on the shared dreams of the American people was launched as the Dreams Across America Tour. Now this effort, which uses the web, blogs and video like never before seen by the immigrants rights movement will take this effort to a school in South Los Angeles where students will be taught to share their own immigration story via the Dreams Across America website at www.dreamsacrossamericaonline.org
The Dreams Across America Tour is a nationwide journey that will educate the public to dispel myths, give real facts, and share personal stories about the need for just and humane immigration reform in this country.
In eight days (June 13th- 20th) via ten cities, the tour will bring together one hundred diverse individuals from throughout the country referred to as Dreamers. These Dreamers will share their compelling stories and reinforce what still holds true today - no matter our backgrounds, immigrant or native born, we all cherish the values that make this country prosper. However, only by working together to address our nation’s broken immigration laws, can we continue to achieve and live the American dream.
