Introducing the first part of our two-part film, All Americana! Written and directed by MVL Film Fellow, Stephen Dypiangco, this film follows Marta whose dream of attending UCLA is derailed by her undocumented status.

Be sure to sign the pledge to Build America Together. America needs real solutions to our broken immigration system, including a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, family unity, worker protections, and strengthened human rights and civil liberties for all Americans. It is time we say NO to the politics of division and YES to bringing America together.

So sign the pledge today.

Stay tuned NEXT WEEK for part two.

And be sure to check out Taproots Fellow, Xiomara Corpeno on her thoughts on organizing both queer and immigrant communities.
