Team — In this moment of deeply alarming and intensifying attacks against communities and families across the country, only through building community and protecting each other can we block the threats we’re up against.
That’s why United We Dream kicked off the Organizing Academy, a space where youth organizers receive intensive, hands-on training in grassroots strategies, campaign building, and leadership development to power local and national change.
But this program is about more than training — it’s about bringing people together, building community, and developing leadership. And with everything on the line in 2025, we need to expand this work to reach more young people.
Will you chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can to help fund these programs and invest in the next generation of immigrant youth leaders?
We asked our members who participated in our Organizing Academy how it felt to bring the community together. Their responses prove that your support for these programs is empowering the next generation of leaders:
|
"It felt amazing to be able to bring a community together… To give folks tools they didn’t previously have and be a space for them to answer questions as much as we could.”
|
|
|
“It felt very empowering for both the community and & myself to come together with community members… I wanted to see this more when I was a kid, so getting to be that person now bringing this information to people was kind of a transcendent moment for me.”

What we are up against in this moment is meant to divide and crush us, but these powerful experiences remind us that WE power each other and our unshakeable commitment to show up and fight for what we deserve.
Immigrant youth are showing what’s possible when they have the resources, training, and support they deserve. United We Dream is dedicated to ensuring they remain in the driver’s seat of generating the community power we need to fight back. Will you support that work and transformative programs like the Organizing Academy today?
