"I am proud to be a member of the Alliance San Diego team. As an impacted member of the community, Alliance San Diego has given me the space to be at the forefront of the border dreamer conversation. I believe in Alliance San Diego’s mission of making space for those impacted by policies to use their voices and advocate for themselves and the community. I believe that I have done just that in my time with Alliance San Diego through the DACA advocacy work we have done together over the years. By sharing my story as an undocumented/DACAmented community member, I hope to inspire others to use their voices, share their stories and change hearts and minds."
