I met Tereza in 2000, when she was accepted to the Manhattan Conservatory of Music but was undocumented. She was confused, afraid, and searching for options to pursue her dream in the only country she’d ever called home. She inspired me to introduce the Dream Act. A THREAD.

Tolu, Oscar, and Diego are three Dreamers whom I’ve had the pleasure to meet over the years. They’re truly inspiring, and they show the potential our society has if we unlock a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. WATCH their powerful stories.

Dreamers are teachers, nurses, police officers, and above all: foundational to our communities. But under current law, their dreams of citizenship are deferred far too often. WATCH as we discuss the urgent need to protect immigrant youth.

Politicians, judges, and ex-boyfriends. None of these people should be able to force a woman to continue a pregnancy. Yet, in Texas, that’s exactly what’s happening.
