Undocumented organizers catapulted themselves into the center of one of the nation’s fiercest debates to form an unlikely, yet powerful, political voice. From the DREAM Act, to DACA, to deportation and policing, undocumented organizers ushered in a new era of political activism, shaping policies, influencing elections, and sparking national conversations about exclusion and belonging.
The undocumented organizing collecting initiative explores the roots of how undocumented activists worked to fight for the DREAM Act, create DACA, and expand immigrant rights over the past two decades.
