Dreamers Reprieve
We at Identity are cautiously exhilarated and relieved for our Dreamers, the many Identity staffers and parents who are DACA recipients, now that their right to live and work in the U.S. has been upheld, for now, by the Supreme Court. Brought to the U.S. as children, they are once again able to exhale. But fear continues. We need to make sure that Congress delivers a lasting decision.
But there has been no break in fear for Black families. In solidarity, in grief, AND in action, read this special message from Diego.

Another Win/Win
Identity has entered into two new collaborations to fight hunger while empowering community members with new outreach skills and meaningful work experience. Ten young adults and parents have been trained by Manna Food Center for outreach to the most isolated Latino families with food support. Other young adults are training to increase awareness and reach of federal food assistance programs through the Montgomery County Food Council and Burness. READ MORE.
