The Immigrant Youth Justice League (IYJL) is working with community organizations for a mass youth-led immigrant rights mobilization in Chicago, and national coordinated actions by youth and students starting on March 10th, 2010 in support for a path towards legalization.
IYJL members have been “coming out” or openly identifying as undocumented immigrants, and speaking about our stories, as a strategy to get the issue of immigration in people’s minds, and on the national agenda. In collaboration with the national youth-led network United We Dream, students and youth from around the country will be organizing “coming out of the shadows” actions between March 10th and March 21st, starting right here in Chicago.

We live everyday in fear and we are tired of it. We want to be able to talk about our lives and our stories without fearing persecution or deportation. We are not free to travel, go to school, work, live, but we refuse to be helpless.
In Chicago on March 10th , 2010 youth are calling for a community mobilization from Union Park to Federal Plaza, ending with a mass coming out direct action demonstration by undocumented youth. This “coming out of the shadows” is meant as a call for leadership from Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), who has been supportive of immigrant youth, but has not taken action to pass immigration reform this year. IYJL has also extended an invitation for a place at the table to the Senator, as well as President Barack Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, so that they can hear the proposals for immigration reform from the people that are affected the most.

“I’m going to the march because I’m tired of being oppressed. I’m just like everybody else, with dreams and goals. I’m marching because I am fighting for my rights.” – Reyna
Come out, come out! Wherever you are
Understanding that every one around the country faces different risks and obstacles when speaking about their life and struggles with immigration, we are asking that you think about who you can come out to. Is it a trusted teacher? Friend? Coach? Maybe it’s through an anonymous blog on this website, or on your own. Whatever you’re doing, make sure that you are also asking people to take action, call their representatives, and ask for immigration reform with a path for legalization, the DREAM Act, and to march with us on March 10 2010.
In these times, we must remember our dignity, courage and perseverance. And we must work together for the comprehensive immigration reform our country needs. It is time we start climbing the mountain again, and this time we will reach the top.
This is the year to make immigration reform the number one priority on President Obama's agenda. But to achieve this, we must work together.
Together, we must start the climb!
Together, we must reach the top!
Together, we must lift our voices!
Together, we must go to the streets!
Together, we must and will March on March 10 2010!
We demand immigration reform now!
Help us spread the word, invite everyone you come in contact with!
More and updated Info will be posted through out these coming days and on our website
