SO MOVEMENT STARTS


THE MOVEMENT STARTS

It is impossible to describe this march. There are those that say 5 thousand, i dare to say more than that.

I cannot tell u how much effort went into this, how much passion and heart.
Walk for a DREAM has become a historic event that screams for JUSTICE AND DIGNITY for all immigrants.

We are now asking for the passage of the DREAM Act.

It was incredible to see the youth from all over the city and state that came and shouted their hearts out. My skin crawled several times and i was choked up by something i can't describe when seeing people come together to shout for one common cause.

Thanks to all those that were part of this. I have to give thanks to the girls that are my friends and are behind all this:

-Donajih, for your great job, leadership, and determination; for your experience and sacrifices.

-Tatiana, for your sparkle and dilligence in bringing resources into this event. I applaud your awakening in this movement and admire it.

-Melissa, for your grace and way of bringing a massive program into a brilliant production.

-Genesis, for your unconditional way of showing up and for your ORGANIZATION!!!

-Sandra, I thank you for your initiative into bringing many groups into this event.

-JIFM for showing up and helping in coming through.

I want to thank all those people in UH, outside UH, organizational leaders, sponsors, for your support.

Lets keep it going, now we can't stop!!!

If we don't fight for our DREAM nobody else will!!!

Peace.

-JRC
