This is what democracy looks like!”—this site explores what democracy looks like from the perspectives of five organizers working in today’s undocumented movement. Through their stories\, these organizers invite us to look beyond the headlines and the issues often associated with undocumented immigrants\, from DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to the DREAMers. In the process\, they stretch our imagination by offering fresh approaches to familiar topics such as community\, citizenship\, belonging\, and even identity itself.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Questions
DESCRIPTION:Viewed through a wider lens\, declaring independence involved more than a single document and a single historical moment. Before July 1776\, numerous local organizations had urged the Congress to embrace independence. And it was not just “Founding Fathers” but also a broader population whose actions gave the Declaration meaning. A broad-based Founding Generation—ordinary free men\, women held subordinate by law\, enslaved African Americans\, and others—brought their own ideas of liberty to the Revolutionary moment. \nLater generations\, too\, would struggle over Revolutionary issues\, some seeking to fulfill the Declaration’s proclaimed ideals and others promoting vested interests seeking to bypass popular consent. Given the many limits of the nation that the Revolution established\, can the Declaration still be a source of commitment and identity for Americans today? \nExplore these “Revolutionary Questions” to start a conversation in your community!
