Dreamer Play Video & CMSC 2018 Fund Drive
By popular demand, we bring you recording of the play, “Dreamers: Aquí y Allá” at the CSULB Studio. A special thank you to the Dreamers that shared their stories, and supporters that were able to attend the play in person. Please share and enjoy this video with your family and friends.

But we need your help more than ever before in order to continue to fight for Dreamers and Advance Parole! As you may know, the Supreme Court has recently denied President Trump’s request for rescinding DACA. However, the appeals court will rule in the near future, but for now DACA is still in place as before September 5, 2017, but without Advance Parole.
We have not lost hope that a positive resolution will come out of the Congress next month, and we are hopeful that Advance Parole will be re-activated as well.
Thus, we are asking for your support as a beneficiary or supporter of our program, and because without it, we will not be able to continue to advocate for Dreamers’ legalization and a path to citizenship and for our next project, the Dreamer book publication.

Remembering Jorge
Jorge was born on August 20, 1960 in Cuernavaca, Morelos where he spent his childhood, established the CETLALIC Institue, and made a family. At an early age, Jorge began to study Spanish instruction and ethnohistory of Mexico with the goal of becoming a Spanish and culture teacher.
In the 80’s Jorge began his lifelong career in social movements and activism through Archbishop Sergio Mendez Arceo and liberation theology. This led Jorge to Central America where he understood firsthand, the reality of the civil war. This experience would inspire Jorge to commit his life to social justice and Latin American solidarity.
Thirty-five -plus years later, Jorge had traveled the world teaching and exchanged in cultural exchange. Jorge and the CETLALIC Institute collaborated with the CMSC for the last 20 years in heritage seeking, study abroad programs to Cuernavaca, Mexico. Jorge taught thousand of students and shared his knowledge of Latin American social movements.
Jorge saw the world through the eyes of his students and he left an impact on many, influencing the identity of many Chicano and DACA students. Jorge’s work lives on in all of us.
