She immigrated to the United States from Mexico at seven years old and found a home in Oregon.
She is now pursuing her Master’s so that she can continue to serve her community.

Our video series captures the journeys, struggles, and successes of United We Dream members
from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, and elsewhere who now live in Florida, Oregon, Illinois,
Maryland, California, and across the nation. So, first, we need everyone to watch Maricruz’s
powerful testament on how DACA radically changed the course of her life.
 Then, we need voices from all across the country to call on the Supreme Court to do what’s right
and protect DACA recipients and all immigrant communities. Share our videos. Share our stories.
