The
Start of United We Dream
In the
summer of 2008, it was official that we wanted to build a powerful and united
immigrant youth movement. The original concept was titled “INDU” (now more
commonly known as Undocu), which was developed by Jose Marantes, Julie Gonzalez
(who is ran for Colorado state Senate in 2018), Carlos Saavedra, and Walter
Barrientos. The main objective of this concept was to build something that
would go beyond a national campaign based off the congressional calendar, but
rather a space where we would train and support immigrant youth to build a
sustainable movement nationwide that would engage immigrant youth to build the
power of our communities across the country.
By
December 2008, the United We Dream Network met. Present in the room was a
dynamic and overwhelmingly diverse immigrant youth leadership, including Cristina
Jimenez, Julieta
Garibay, Marisol Ramos, Josh Bernstein, Sookyung Oh, Matias Ramos, Adey
Fisseha, and others, who became part of the founding board for the
organization. From the meeting, it was clear that an informal coalition
structure could no longer suffice to sustain the much broader long-term vision
of building an immigrant youth movement well beyond advocating for a change in
immigration laws. Furthermore, there was a shared vision by key youth
leadership that a national structure should be created that was led by young
people whose lives are directly impacted by unjust immigration laws. The immigrant
youth leaders agreed that National Immigration Law Center (NILC) should
continue to anchor the network and NILC agreed to support it as a youth-led
organizing network and become it fiscal sponsor. As a result, the United We
Dream Network was formed.
