Dear Dreamers & Allies,

I hope you are all well! I recently reached out to you regarding the "DREAM Activists and the Immigrant Rights Movement" forum tonight at the New School. I wanted to let you know that you can watch the forum LIVE via webcast from 6-8:30pm tonight. Some of the Dreamers in attendance will also be live-tweeting during the event. Follow #DreamForumNYC or @Fi2W on twitter, or me @vondiaz.

Here's the link to the webcast: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dream-...ights-movement

Saludos,
Von

DREAM Activists and the Immigrant Rights Movement


The Center for New York City Affairs and Feet In Two Worlds will be streaming the event online at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dream-...ights-movement .

To be reminded of this live webcast -- and to be added to our list -- please email centernyc@newschool.edu.

Tens of thousands of youth graduate high school each year in the US with an inherited title: "undocumented immigrant." Passage of the DREAM Act would make many undocumented young people legal residents, start them on a path to citizenship and make them eligible for financial aid if they finish college or serve in the military. While Congress considers -- and delays -- passage, legislators in states nationwide are debating and passing measures of their own. And a new generation of activists are "outing" themselves as undocumented Americans, giving the immigrant rights movement a new, more aggressive face. What is the status of the national DREAM Act campaign, and those being pursued state-by-state? Are the new activist strategies proving effective? And what are the political implications of young, undocumented immigrants taking a central role in the movement for immigrant rights?

Opening remarks from:
Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Founder, Define American

Followed by a conversation with:
Aswini Anburajan, Independent Journalist, Feet In Two Worlds
Natalia Aristizabal, Make the Road New York
Adey Fisseha, Policy Attorney, National Immigration Law Center
Tania Mattos, New York State Youth Leadership Council
John Rudolph, Executive Producer, Feet in Two Worlds
Fatima Shama, Commissioner, Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs

Admission is free but you must reserve a seat. Please email centernyc@newschool.edu to RSVP.

Supported by New York Community Trust, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, the Milano Foundation and the Sirus Fund.
I know there is the PBS documentary going on at around the same time... errmm....multi-tasking opportunity?

I assume the time listed on this e-mail is EST, maybe.
