photographer interested in creating a photo essay about the DREAM ACT students

Hello everyone,

I am looking for DREAMERS who live in New Orleans and nearby areas. I would like to make a photo essay about the life of DREAM Act students. Is anyone interested to participate or help me get in contact with the DREAM Act students they know?

I have been following the developments surrounding the DREAM Act since 2007. I fully support this Act. In addition to being an immigrant myself (I came to the US when I was 12), I helped write and design the DREAM Act toolkit for ILRC in San Francisco.

Thank you for your help!!

Does it have to be New Orleans? And what about a Dreamie that is now legal through marriage? You can email me if interested..

The real question here is: what is it in for us? And when I say "us", I really mean "me".

Right now I do not think that it matters if the person photographed is actually out of status. I am looking to photograph people who were and are DREAM Act students.

As for incentives, I want my photography to aid the passage of the DREAM Act.

Do you guys know anyone closer to my area?

They might know someone from New Orleans who can help you complete your project. Hope that helps.
