Dreamers are young people who would have potentially benefited from a federal law
called the DREAM Act which was never passed by Congress. This would have been a
pathway to legal status and citizenship for young people who attended college or
served in the military. Dreamers continue to use this term as they organize for
an end to the for-profit immigration detention system, an end to indiscriminate
deportations and comprehensive immigration reform. Many of these young people
qualify for DACA and we hope to work with them in these struggles. If you need
further information and/or wish to learn about and join in the struggle for the
rights of you and your families please go to
