4 Ways to Be an Ally: 1. Get Informed The first step is to get informed about DACA. The advocacy organization, United We Dream , provides up-to-date information about what DACA recipients should know and what immigrants and their allies can do. https://unitedwedream.org 2. Speak Out Share why DACA is important to you, how it has effected you, and why people should support it. Stand up for those who may be afraid to speak themselves because of fear of persecution, and shut down any stereotypes you hear about undocumented students. Be an ally today and everyday.

3. Collaborate & Share Information Use other resources (such as our classmates’ projects) to find more information as to ways to help. http://recognizinthoseintheshadows.weebly.com The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has many cultural houses that can provide more information about DACA and how it relates specifically to our university. oiir.illinois.edu/la-casa-cultural-latina 4.
