When you’re undocumented, you face a lot of discrimination, and that creates a lot of fear. At United We Dream, they transform that fear into finding your voice. United We Dream empowers people to develop their leadership, their organizing skills, and to develop its own campaigns to fight for justice and dignity for immigrants and all people. This is achieved through immigrant youth-led campaigns at the local, state, and federal level.
