Friend, we’re expanding our #HomeIsHere video series!

In honor of Womxn’s history month, we’re introducing you the story of Catalina, a young immigrant Trans womxn from Colombia who found a home in Seattle, WA.

Catch a glimpse of her story as she shares her experience under DACA as a trans womxn of color:

Catalina is one of the 27 DACA recipients who have fearlessly shared their stories for our amicus brief that was heard by the Supreme Court in November of last year.

As we inch closer to a final decision on DACA, it’s important to remember the powerful stories of DACA recipients and all immigrants that shape our communities.

Help us remind folks that our #HomeIsHere by sharing Catalina’s story with your social network:

Catalina emigrated to the United States from Colombia when she was fourteen years-old. When she was in college, she was separated from her family when her mother, father, and sister were deported. But with the help of her immigrant and queer community, she was able to push through and find security.

DACA allowed Catalina to embrace her identity as a trans and immigrant womxn, and with or without DACA, she’ll continue to fight for the recognition of the humanity of LGBTQ immigrants like her.

Join Catalina and other United We Dream members as we celebrate immigrant womxn, womxn of color, and queer and trans womxn.
