7 Mar 2011Te default is to think that invisibility, hiding will offer protection and safety, but experience has taught me, that when it comes to issues of justicia, the safety comes from the extended reach of community and by claiming presence, saying Presente!. And say this with a certain amount of privilege. My claiming multiple identities publicly doesn’t put me at risk for being deported, and yet on March 10th, many DREAMers will take that risk and as community, regardless of where we stand in terms of the details of the DREAM Act, it is our responsibility to extend our reach to them and support.
