The Immigration Advocates Network, in partnership with United We Dream and leading immigrants? rights organizations, has launched a new website that offers online tools to help immigrants brought to this country as children apply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The site, Own the Dream (http://www.weownthedream.org) or Unete al Sueno (http://www.unetealsueno.org) in Spanish, offers assistance to the hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who are eligible for this opportunity.

Own the Dream provides an online self-screening tool for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals applicants so they can determine their eligibility for the program and a searchable directory of free or low-cost nonprofit immigration legal services providers in all 50 states. The site also features a calendar of community events, such as information sessions and application workshops, as well as up-to-date news about the Deferred Action program and frequently asked questions. It leverages a technology platform developed by Pro Bono Net, a national nonprofit that works to increase access to justice, which is used to support broad-based networks of legal aid, civil rights and pro bono lawyers.

Own the Dream campaign partners include AFL-CIO, America?s Voice Education Fund, American Immigration Council, American Immigration Lawyers Association, Americans for Immigrant Justice, Asian American Justice Center, Asian Pacific American Legal Center, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Educators for Fair Consideration, Farmworker Justice, Immigration Advocates Network, Mi Familia Vota, National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, National Council of La Raza, National Immigration Law Center, National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, PICO National Network, Presente.org, Pro Bono Net, Service Employees International Union, and United We Dream.
