Who We Are• Largest immigrant youth led network

fighting for access to education and now, immigration reform for all 11 million dreams

• 5 years old

• We led the way in the fight for deferred action for childhood arrivals (daca)

What are we doing?

• Last year our network decided to include the narrative of, not just ourselves, but of our friends and family in the fight for immigration reform.

• Fighting for immigration reform for all 11 Million Dreams, including our friends, parents and any undocumented person.

What are we doing?

How are we doing it?

• Stories → they are a valuable source of power our community has.

• We have used vojo as a way to collect stories.

• Main demographic targeted were our parents (ie. It is easier for them to call a number and leave a story than to do so on a webpage)

What's next?

• Right now, only used as an internal story bank

• Would like to eventually be able to present the stories in a creative, compelling way.
