NAVIGATE Supports DREAM Act, DREAMers, Hope & Education Access for ALL
NAVIGATE stand shoulder to shoulder with the MN DREAM Act Hunger
Strikers and all other DREAMers across the nation. We thank those who
participated and who supported them for their courageous and brave
action. We wish the outcome had been different. But we are better
because of your leadership and enthusiasm.
Even though the DREAM Act was blocked by Senators who chose politics
over doing what is moral and right, we still have important work to do.
Those of us who have been working for immigrant rights, for education
for immigrant students, have a lot of work to do in the next few
years.
One of the biggest challenges we now face is that the younger
generation of DREAMers and other immigrants might be discouraged, that
what seemed possible before is impossible now. We must work harder and
harder to keep the hope alive and continue our struggle until we give
every deserving human being full access to education and citizenship
of the United States of America.
We cannot afford to lose the talent of young people anymore. We cannot
afford to let the dreams of young people die. We cannot afford
vicious, negative messages to drive our young people away from
education. We must do better. We can better. We will be better.
