Tour de DREAMS
On August 13rd at least 34 students embarked on a Bike Tour traveling 540 miles from UC Berkeley to UCLA to raise awareness about the Federal DREAM Act and AB540 student issues. My friend, Annelisa Luong, was one of them along with one of our RISE member “Jose.” Annelisa has been a really strong supporter of undocumented students and has been extremely understanding about my particular situation and has even helped me at times which I am really grateful for. I met “Jose” about a year ago and I have seen his passion for justice grow throughout that time and I am really honored to know him and have him as a member of our student organization. We also learned about a young high school graduate recently accepted into UC Berkeley! But due to financial circumstances she was unable to attend for the Fall semester this year but will be joining us next semester and we look forward to having her be part of our group and family here at Cal.
