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. plain 2018-04-13T05:30:35-04:00 Melisa Santizo e3256c74f202735b1dfb7f899c5684ab9479540bThis page is referenced by:

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:- 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.
