PLEASE SHARE: My friend Fernanda has walked about 12miles supporting herself with a cane. I was going to ask why she’s doing it, but I feared what she said would make me cry... so I’ve just been walking with her in silence. We need a #DreamActNow folks ✊🏽😢❤️
“The reason why we have the Statue of Liberty on an island is because we welcome immigrants... we all came here from somewhere.” We met Mrs. Johnson in our path and she said this to us before heading in for service. She did not stutter! #DreamActNow
We’re crossing the bridge from NJ into Pennsylvania! Our socks are wet, shoes have water and while we might be a bit tired the #Dreamer spirit never rotters! What a beautiful evening. Support my journey by donating here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/ed…#DreamActNow ❤️
We’ve arrived to the wonderful Presbyterian Church hosting us tonight. They have lasagna, salad, bread, cake & abundance of snacks! This is the side of America some will have us forget. We keep on walking to claim our dignity❤️ #DreamActNow support here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/ed…
We’re in our 5th day of our walk. Please stay with us. We are a bit tired but we will keep going. PLEASE DONATE to cover the most basic needs, the link has been fixed: Bit.ly/EduardoDream
JUST WOW! We stopped by to rest a bit and they stopped their Zumba class to wish us good luck. Again! This is the side of our country that some will have us forget! They proceeded to shout out affirmations, this was incredible! ❤️✊
MILE 100! We are energized, determined and we will keep on walking because our story is the story of millions of Dreamers across the country who call this country home. We demand congress listens to the great majority of Americans and pass a #DreamActNow
