Trail of DREAMs
On January 1, 2010, four brave, determined students from Miami will embark on a 2,000-mile journey across the southeast, all the way to our nation's Capitol. The walkers, who will be joined by supporters from throughout Florida and other states along the way, expect to arrive in our nation’s capital on May 1st. These students and supporters will be demanding to ease the suffering of immigrant families by equality of education, stoping raids, deportations, and separation of families.
