DREAM ACT: Video Series for Young Immigrants

The collaborative effort aims to inform and empower potential "Deferred Action" applicants.

Recent workshops hosted by Council District 13 representative Eric Garcetti and El Centro del Pueblo have strived to help young immigrants take advantage of the DREAM ACT.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) has now created a series of videos for those desiring to seek immigration relief or "Deferred Action."

According to a CHIRLA press release:

The self-help videos, ranging from six to fifteen minutes in length, are in English and Spanish. Using a question and answer format, attorney Jessica Dominguez and immigration movement student leader Justino Mora, review and explain how to accurately complete Forms I-821D, I-765, and I-765WS, all three required by USCIS to consider a request for “Deferred Action”.
