Wikipedia Research Topic My research topic for Wikipedia is the DREAM Act article and I will be working alone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DREAM_Act I plan to add a section to the DREAM Act article which talks about the DREAMers Movement. I noticed while reading the article that there is a lot of focus on the legislation part of the DREAM Act which is helpful. However, the article misses on discussing how the DREAM Act was able to come to be. There is so much to the DREAM Act than just legal events. There was and to this day a movement that is still pushing forward with the DREAM Act. The DREAMers who mostly are youth were the ones who were voicing out their concerns and were the ones who were protesting. I intend to talk about the origin of the DREAMers movement on the aspect of how it came to be. I will discuss on the early members of the movement. I will also go into what was going on during the time and the significance of the DREAM Act. In addition, I will touch on how the movement is doing now such as where the movement stands now and what they are doing regarding DREAM Act. I believe a lot has changed and those changes have affected the movement directly. There have been new policies that have a tie-in back to the DREAMers movement such as DACA, California DREAM Act, and DREAM Act Loan. All this information is necessary when discussing the DREAM Act since these factors had a big impact on DREAM Act itself. The public should know that there is action happening not only in legal terms but also by a movement.

The DREAMers Movement emerged during the time that the DREAM Act was being pushed in Congress. The individuals that make up the group are primary undocumented students/youth. The DREAMers movement have been seen tackling issues in regards to immigration, education, and citizenship. The DREAMers have partaken in many activists activities to demonstrate their support for the DREAM Act. On May 1, 2006, there was a demonstration that involved a collective group of students taking a stand to voice their concerns. There was an occasion on June 5, 2012, when DREAMers participated in a nonviolent civil disobedience which included picket-lines, sit-ins, hunger strikes, etc. There have been other scenarios throughout the country where undocumented youth have been actively involved in promoting the DREAM Act. Furthermore, the movement has had influence in other policies such as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) which is an executive order made by former President Barack Obama on June 15, 2012.
