ICYMI, team: Last week, during his State of the Union address, President Biden used a hateful, dehumanizing word to describe an undocumented immigrant.
Our community immediately sprung into action, organizing a campaign to demand President Biden to apologize and issue a retraction of the word. And just over 24 hours later — he did.
Our swift pressure and demands left Biden no choice and made it clear to everyone: that word does not belong in the pro-immigrant world we are building. This was a victory for our movement and PROOF that our organizing works, and we have the power to make our demands heard — even from the very top.
We mobilized quickly, and it paid off. We were only able to do that because of grassroots supporters who power our organizing efforts. Will you pitch in $10 today to support UWDA and our fight for the future we deserve? Now is the time to keep up the pressure.

Immigrant youth have mobilized millions of people across the country to build a multiracial, multigenerational movement for a future where all people are treated with dignity and respect, no matter their immigration status. Our movement is powerful, we are growing, and we’re glad you’re on our side.
Thanks,
Juanita, United We Dream Action
