Underground Youth Movement

E-MAIL FORWARD:


I am working with youth in the bay area who have developed an incredible underground youth movement that began with 20 undocumentedyouth. The following is their story:

An organization of 20 undocumented youth have devoted themselves todemonstrating humanity for undocumented immigrants, whose country wasonce chosen for them and one they choose for themselves today.

Our national public awareness campaign illuminates the plight of undocumented youth as a dignified human experience.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q16uB0hFi3Q) This underground youthmovement, known as, One Dream 2009, is giving a voice to the voiceless and appreciates your support. The intention of this campaign is toemphasize not an immigration issue rather a human rights issue.

Ultimately, we want to bridge the divide of racism, classism, ageism,and nationalism; we live on one planet.

We not only appreciate yoursupport, but your support is necessary to reach our goals:
• To gather 15 million signatures (petitions) in recognition of thenumber of undocumented individuals in this country.
• To sell 3 million `Human Being' cards symbolizing the 3 millionundocumented youth in this country.
• Present these symbolic messages (powers of people, money and respect- representing the voice of human solidarity) to the new President onInauguration Day, January 20th 2009.
