Immigrant Youth and Faith-Based Communities Unite To Continue The Fight For Immigrant Rights
Undocumented immigrant youth have been at the forefront of the immigration battle across the United States. After a historic DREAM Act campaign in 2010, students have regained momentum and continue to organize at the national and local level.

In this Town Hall the faith-based community and immigrant youth will come together and dialogue about issues such as immigration enforcement, deportations, access to higher education and other issues affecting the immigrant community.
