Donate to the Winter 2020 California-Mexico Dreamers Study Abroad Program
The Winter 2020 California-Mexico Dreamers Study Abroad Program will allow 85 DACA recipients to travel to Mexico with DACA’s Advance Parole permit, immerse in a unique U.S.-Mexico National Security study abroad program, and reconnect with their family and cultural roots.
All participants have a pending Advance Parole (I-131) application subject to USCIS approval and the CMSC team is working diplomatically with Mexico’s government and the U.S. Homeland Security Administration to secure authorization for all 85 participants.
But we need to raise $50,000 to cover the increased costs of the program and ensure the safety of all participants while traveling in Mexico during the pandemic. The additional costs are related to doubling the cost for single-room hotel accommodations, all transportation costs, COVID-19 pre and post-testing, and 24/7 medical attention and prevention protocols.
Thus, we urge our community, Dreamers’ supporters, corporate and business sponsors, readers, and colleagues to help us raise $50,000 by the end of the year with donations of any amount, or to sponsor one participant at $500 each.
Advance Parole Voices is a 1-3 minute video series that educates about, and advocates for the reinstatement of the Advance Parole travel authorization for DACA recipients. The series features stories and testimonies from participants of the Winter 2020 California-Mexico Dreamers Study Abroad Program, and also Dreamers who have been denied the travel authorization since the Trump Administration suspended the provision on September 5, 2017.
