United We Dream (UWD), a multi-ethnic immigrant youth-led organization committed to achieving dignity and humanity for all immigrants and people of color in the U.S by empowering, organizing, and developing our members' leadership, is looking for a talented Campaign Coordinator. UWD is building a sustainable grassroots movement by organizing and advocating at the local, regional, and national levels from a racial justice and intersectional analysis while also providing transformative leadership development, tools and resources to support our leaders and member organizations.
With a monthly online reach of 4 million activists and supporters, nearly 300,000 members as well as 48 local groups, UWD is made up of fearless youth fighting to improve the lives of our members and their families. Our vision is a society that celebrates our diversity and believes in a multi-ethnic, multi-racial intersectional path to getting there.
Campaign Description
On September 5th, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the termination of the DACA program. UWD is committed to defeating the agenda of white supremacy that this administration is leading - and we must secure the protections of all people impacted by the announcement. Additionally, and as importantly, those protections must ensure our communities are not exposed to further criminalization.
To achieve these goals, UWD has created an ambitious and comprehensive campaign to win the passage of a Clean Dream Act. We will create the political environment that forces Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to support this while generating support from a broad sector of the general public. Through public education and action at the local, state, and national levels which brings immigrant youth and their families and their allies together, we can assert pressure and demonstrate that a Clean Dream Action is urgent, popular, and mainstream with a goal of passage by early or mid-December.
