Las Vegas, Nevada-Today is my second day attending the SouthWest Regional Training for the United We Dream in Las Vegas. So far, the gathering has being extensive with updated information from the national United We Dream team as well practices and history about civil disobedience. Indeed, after couple of hours learning about civil disobedience inside the conference room, we went outside the premises and put into action the learned lesson from civil disobedience from couple of blocks away from Las Vegas Boulevard in the base of the stratosphere.
Regional delegation derived from six different states: California, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. In my case, I drove from Madera, California with members from the Campaign for an American Dream. However, not all participants are undocumented, thus we called those allied/dreamers.
One of my favorite section of the training is the sharing of Personal Story. It gave us the opportunity to remind ourselves the true reason we are involve in this social justice movement. More, motivating becomes the training when people are asked to share their personal story...it is here where I learned that most of us have a common story and the challenges, values and choices which are presented in each story set the principles why we need to reform our immigration system.
I am very excited on going back to my region-the central valley of California- and put into action all great lesson and keep extending my network with other Dreamers across the nation.
May God Bless Each Dreamers Who Participated On This Training And That They Get Safe Back Home.
