Now that the election is over, we hope you will spend a minute with Border Action Network…Thanksgiving is an opportunity to review our lives and express our gratitude for all we have. Border Action Network is grateful that President Obama signed the Deferred Action Executive order. It can potentially allow over a million young people a chance at meaningful employment and continuing education. Border Action Network is very proud of the young women and men in our community that are trying to file their DACA applications. There have been many workshops and volunteers working to insure their paper work is complete. The problem for many of these amazing young people now is paying for their applications. Many tell us they are struggling to raise the $465.00 needed. To many of them, it seems unobtainable. Some are in school, and many work low paying jobs to help their families, but they do what they can. Every week they have car washes, bake sales, yard sales… but they are still so far away from their goals. BAN wants to share with you the story of one young man, Josue Saldivar. We believe there are community members that will help Josue and others raise funds for their applications. Please read his story; please consider making a donation today.
