[RED DEMOCRATICA] Tune in tonight!

 

Friend --

If you had told me three years ago that a DREAMer would be speaking at a national political convention, I wouldn’t have believed you.

But tonight, in a televised primetime address, DREAMer Benita Veliz will take the stage at the Democratic National Convention and briefly share her story with millions of Americans.  Benita is the first undocumented person to ever speak before a national political convention.

Wow.

She’ll be on in the 9:00 pm hour (Eastern) - it would be great if you could show Benita some love and check out her speech, which you can watch here.

Benita is an incredibly inspiring young woman. She came to Texas from Mexico when she was just eight years old. After graduating high school two years early as class valedictorian and a National Merit Scholar, she went on to attend St. Mary’s University on a full scholarship.

But despite her accomplishments, she was almost deported after neglecting to make a complete stop at a stop sign. But Benita fought back. She organized. And, with the help of her community, she convinced officials at the Department of Homeland Security to reverse their decision and allow her to remain in the country she considers home.

Her historic presence on the stage tonight is a testament to the real political power of the DREAMers. All of us in the movement are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them. 

If you can, please tune in at 9 PM tonight to watch Benita.


Thank you,
