The Dream is Now

Take Action- http://www.thedreamisnow.org/take-action Help make 11 million dreams come true!

The Dream Is Now, a new 30-minute documentary film by Davis Guggenheim (Academy Award-wining director of An Inconvenient Truth), tells the moving story of those directly affected by a broken immigration system, the undocumented children of immigrants who yearn to contribute more to the country they call home. This thought-providing film puts a human face on the issue and brings attention to Congress’ efforts to pass reform that will give undocumented youth and their families the chance to earn their citizenship.

Video: Stopping a Deportation Bus

What an emotionally grounding feeling to stop a deportation bus!

Last week, the #united4 were released after engaging in civil disobedience outside the ICE detention center in Phoenix, and dozens of dreamers and Original Dreamers were gathered for a prayer vigil. All of a sudden, we saw the bus about to pull 27 families apart and we decided to take action.

Watch it all in this video and share with your friends too!

‘Bodies on the Border’

Forensics experts in Arizona struggle to identify the bodies of migrants who perished while attempting to cross illicitly from Mexico into the United States.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

The narrator makes a good point: We don’t hear politicians talking about the dead bodies along the border.

 

If they don’t know – shame on them. If they don’t care – double shame on them. Either way we need politicians with a heart – who care about human life, dignity and respect. @getgln

 

The forensic specialist makes a good point: The border crossers would have gladly paid a fee to the U.S. governement for a legitimate work visa instead of paying a smuggler.
