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:
Advocating for legislative measures like comprehensive immigration reform and the DREAM Act
Building a community on campus that welcomes all immigrants
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.

These labels include: "criminal," "illegal," "anchor baby." They then proceeded to remove those labels and put on labels such as human and artist as a way to reclaim their identities.plain2018-04-13T05:30:35-04:00
