The treatment of immigrants and immigration policies in America are hot button topics. These policies, often seen as unlawful and dehumanizing, are catalyzing people across the nation to speak up for change. Prompted by YES!

The strength in their words reveals the impact each individual is capable of, and remind us of the power we each have to make a difference.
