The end of the evening will include a short music set by Houston punk legends the MYDOLLS!

There will be refreshments, music, camaraderie, and hope.

Following the termination of the DACA program by Trump on Sept 5th, the undocumented community is gathering to show their resilience, power, and unity in the face of mounting white supremacy. We are inviting local officials to push for a Clean Dream Act in defiance of the terror inducing mass deportation agenda of President Trump and its administration. Join Us!

DREAM ON @ LOCCA was a successful event on Nov. 10th! It was LOCCA’s the first collaboration this year with United We Dream. The volunteers did a remarkable job of setting up with posters, banners, food and refreshments. Undocumented story tellers recalled and presented their experience to an audience of supporters and elected officials: State Representatives Gene Wu and Alma Allen, Houston City Councilmember Karla Cisneros and Harris County Judge Ed Emmett. This bipartisan group was asked to state before cameras their support for a clean Dream Act. They all did. Our undocumented immigrant speakers were all in turn more articulate, eloquent and compelling than the next. More than a chance to appeal to elected officials for firm political support, DREAM ON was a celebration. The night ended with a thirty-minute set from the Mydolls, Houston’s legendary punk band. It was amazing, mind blowing, to see them play in LOCCA’s backyard!! My thanks to all the UWD volunteers who helped set up and break down. Looks like we may do this again next month. Stay tuned!
