We received overwhelming feedback from our listeners after our episode — Immigration: The Pathway to Citizenship — who wanted to know more about how they can get involved and how to better support undocumented students. 

In this bonus episode, host Jordan Fierst sits down with the co-advisors of DREAM Action NIU, Sandy López and Lizbeth Román. The pair discuss a range of topics from why they engage in this advocacy; the hurdles that undocumented students often encounter, especially when it comes to pursuing and financing higher education; how to support undocumented students; what DREAM Action NIU is up to, and how YOU can be an ally and get involved today. 

Featured Guests: Sandy López and Lizbeth Román, Co-Advisors of DREAM Action at Northern Illinois University, a student-led organization.
