Please everybody take a second to look at this project that is being developed by several activists from SWER with the backing of several organizations:

Here is some info on this:

Quote:

On January 1st, 2010, a small team of brave, passionate young immigrant students from Florida’s Students Working for Equal Rights (SWER) will embark on a 4-month long, 1,500 mile walk – the Trail of Dreams. As they travel through the southeastern United States, this courageous group will be seeking meetings with political and civic leaders, joining in rallies and vigils, and reaching out to the media - galvanizing support for immigration policy reform in communities that might otherwise be without a voice. Their Trail will lead them all the way from Miami’s Freedom Tower to the United States Capitol in Washington D.C., where they will join with thousands of others on in a mass rally for reform on May 1st, 2010.

What’s the goal of the Trail of Dreams? To empower Americans to unite in solidarity for the passage of just and humane immigration reform.

WE DEMAND that our President, Barack Obama stop the separation of families and deportation of DREAMers.

WE SUPPORT just and humane immigration reform that includes equal access to education, an end to the separation of families, worker’s rights, and a pathway to citizenship.

As the Trail Of Dreams makes its journey across the southeast, back home in south Florida (in Homestead), another team of passionate community members and families will begin an indefinite “Fast for Our Families” in the name of all who have lost a loved one to the deportation system. The purpose of this fast is to touch the hearts and minds of all who value family unity and the strength of our communities. President Obama, we can’t wait anymore!

Please keep all criticism constructive, as I know how things get blown out of proportion in these forums -__- check out the website as to how you can help, or DM me with any questions!
