  ACT ON A DREAM’S MISSION

  AOD is a student-led, student-run organization at Harvard College founded in 2008 focused on eradicating the barriers that Undocu+ (undocumented, DACA, mixed status family, and other immigrants) students face in realizing their full potential.
  We do this by three ways:
  
  1. Advocating for legislative measures like comprehensive immigration reform and the DREAM Act
  2. Building a community on campus that welcomes all immigrants
  3. Working with Harvard administration for undocumented student resources.

  WITH SUPPORT, WE'VE ACHIEVED

  • Founding the CAIR Conference (Collegiate Alliance for Immigration Reform)
  • Hiring a full-time immigration lawyer & social worker for students
  • Creating the first Harvard dedicated website for undocu+ students
  • Participating in a Harvard administration-led Undocumented Student Working Group (USWG)
  • Planning numerous trainings of staff and administrators
  • Largest Undocu+ representation at first-year events
  • Planning and holding the 8th Annual CAIR Conference at Harvard, which 250 students, activists, and faculty attended. 
  With this in mind, we continue to reclaim the labels attached to being "undocumented," standing unapologetic and unafraid.
