The Sept. 26, 2008 Statewide March in Sacramento for the California Dream Act was a huge success! The march was integrated, militant, and spirited—2,000 black, Latina/o, Asian, Arab, and white students marching shoulder to shoulder for freedom and equality for undocumented immigrant students and for all of us. We marched for an alternative vision for California: in which ALL people, regardless of race and immigration status, have full and equal rights to an education. We are all Californians!

What will be crucial for the new civil rights movement to succeed at realizing this vision—to succeed at winning the California Dream Act, a federal Dream Act, and full and equal rights for immigrants—is to build BAMN: an organization of leaders who are prepared to build this new and powerful civil rights movement.

Even though Schwarzenegger vetoed the California Dream Act at the last minute on Tuesday night, our movement is gaining strength and We Will Win! Stay tuned as we mount the campaign to make every school and campus a sanctuary zone, and California and other states into sanctuary states! The fight continues! ¡Sí Se Puede!
