DREAM Team Los Angeles was founded in advocacy and forged in activism. Undocumented youth activists advocating for the rights of the undocumented immigrant community. We took to the streets to fight for the Federal DREAM Act, legislation that would have granted a pathway to U.S. citizenship for undocumented youth, an almost 10 year battle to achieve its vote in Congress. When legislation failed in 2010 we directed our attention to President Obama to use his executive authority to grant administrative relief to the undocumented community. Through the use of peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience actions we achieved the policies of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and DAPA (Deferred Action and Parental Accountability). This is a brief look at our actions.
