The @nydreamact #newyork #dreamact would cost less than a donut. even though it is so cheap, #ny politicians still struggle with making it happen. Come this June, more #youth will graduate and struggle to complete their #education. #immyouth #immigration #ilovenyda

March is Coming Out of the Shadows Undocumented & Unafraid Month!
We’re very excited because for the fourth consecutive year we will be holding events for undocumented youth and community members to share their stories, to give a face to the immigration debate and to break free from the fear and shame.
If you want for your story to be displayed on our website, please submit your story here.
Coming out is a process so it is okay if you do not feel ready to share your story in such a big way, you’re welcome to come and be there for support to others. These coming out events will be filled with stories, music, poems, dance and many more performances. They are open to the public regardless of immigration status. Bring family and friends!

I’m Janne. I’m an Undocumented Student and I’m unafraid. This is my story!
When I was nine years old, my parents decided to leave their life in Ecuador for an uncertain future in the United States of America. They were full of high hopes. Later, they decided to bring me here. I came here when I was eighteen to obtain what my father wanted for me – an education in America. I thought my parents were selfish to take me away from the great life I had in Ecuador. Also, I felt it was not fair to me. As an undocumented teenager, I would have more obstacles than opportunities.
At first, I did not know how to deal with my life as an undocumented student in high school. I feared that my classmates knew that I was undocumented, and therefore I was always silent. However, I never gave up, and I continued to study hard to learn English. I also started working as a manicurist in a nail salon after school and on weekends. I earned very little. It was not enough to pay all of my expenses. I thought that if I earned good grades and worked hard, everything would be fine….
