United We Dream

UWD is the largest immigrant youth organization in the country and most of its 400,000 active members are impacted directly or indirectly by DACA. UWD has a solid track record as a trusted resource for immigrant communities and reaches 4.5 million people on average each month via social media. With 49 affiliates across 27 states, UWD has the largest on the ground footprint of any immigrant rights organization. Over the last 5 years, UWD has built a brand that is trusted by funders, policymakers, the media, leaders in the business and faith communities, and celebrities - all stakeholders whose participation will be a critical aspect of meeting this emergency humanitarian goal. This moment will engage a number of unusual partners who want to step up and support our community. The United We Dream Network is uniquely suited to cultivate those relationships longer term and leverage them for future policy fights. UWD is willing to leverage its staff capacity, organizational partnerships, and financial resources to launch this fund so every new dollar raised can go directly to ensure that an unexpected expense is not a barrier for DACA recipients to renew their status.
