Friday, November 26, FSRN is running a youth produced documentary
on the PATRIOT Act and the DREAM Act
We are high school students and during our summer internship
with Radio Rootz at community radio station WBAI, we explored
issues that affect us as immigrant youth and youth of color.
So many of us are undocumented, yet we have been in this country
for much of our lives and want to be a full part of society.
We learned that the DREAM Act would lift a lot of limitations
enforced upon immigrant youth who want a higher education.
And in speaking with immigrant teenagers about this, we not
only learned what additional struggles they have, but realized
that many of us share the same concerns about our future in
this country.
We also researched the Patriot Act and found out that a lot
of the public, especially other young people, had never even
heard of it. As youth, we think it's important to talk about
this and tell others because it might be the first step of
many to erode our future rights. And now with President Bush
in office for another four years, we all need to be informed
about the things that go on but aren't often talked about.
