Are you an ally for immigrant rights? Do you support your undocumented neighbors and friends, classmates and co-workers? Then, please, speak up and come out. Your silence is no longer acceptable. 2014 must be the year of immigrant allies. From my piece todays BuzzFeed: Politics and partisanship aside, illegal immigration is not only about the 11 million undocumented immigrants like me who go to your schools, attend your places of worship, work alongside you, and pay taxes to contribute to society. It’s also about countless allies — from classmates to co-workers, principals to pastors — who are forced to deal with a broken immigration system. Leveraging media and culture and engaging allies will be at the core of Define Americans work this year. My allies and mentors — most of them teachers and educators —will be present at the special benefit screening of Documented in my adoptive hometown of Mountain View, Calif on Monday, Jan. 27. All proceeds go to a scholarship fund. Tickets are still available: bit.ly/1f8w3bm cc PJ Hyland, Rich Fischer, Sheri Fischer, Mary Moore, Susan Sweeley Bryan Sweeley Peter Perl
