Mission

United We Dream is the largest immigrant youth-led community in the country. We create welcoming spaces for young people – regardless of immigration status – to support, engage, and empower them to make their voice heard and win! Over 60% of our members are womxn and 20% identify as LGBTQ. Our vision is a society which celebrates our diversity and we believe in leading a multi-ethnic, intersectional path to get there. Whether we’re organizing in the streets, building cutting edge technology systems, opening doors for LGBTQ immigrant youth, clearing pathways to education, stopping deportations or creating alliances across social movements, United We Dream puts undocumented immigrant youth in the driver’s seat to strategize, innovate and win.

UndocuHealth & Wellness

Our leaders apply a healing methodology and racial justice lens to our work; we will hold healing retreats regionally for staff and volunteer leaders involved in deportation defense work, and convene community gatherings—on line, by webinar, call, or in person—for support, healing, training, and strategy. We have begun offering healing and wellness workshops: our UndocuHealth program provides a safe space for immigrant youth to express and make sense of their feelings, and teach a number of techniques-- from breathing exercises to spiritual Native American practices, to support them in coping with stress or feelings of anxiety and depression. We continue to provide know-your-rights (KYRs) sessions on immigration, direct action organizing, mental health, and alliance building. We build relationships across diverse immigrant groups and with allies engaged in the broader fight for racial and social justice, and to counter feelings of isolation while strengthening the fight for justice.

Culture Change

UWD’s culture change strategies are imagined and led by communities directly
impacted by deportation, detention and policing, including immigrant youth, youth
of color, and LGBTQ+ youth. In our vision, multi-racial communities across the United
States know and believe that our lives are intertwined. All people, including
immigrants, are free to choose their home and no matter where we live, we are
welcomed and cared for. In order to create the political and cultural conditions for
this world, we are driving key culture change strategies with immigrant youth and youth of color millennials and Gen Z as our key audiences.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Executive Director

Greisa Martinez Rosas

Originally from Hidalgo, Mexico, Greisa came to the US with her family at a young age and grew up in Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas. She began her organizing journey by leading a student walk-out to demand justice for undocumented people. At UWD, Greisa’s first role was leading grassroots field efforts as as an affiliate leader of the Council for Minority Student Affairs before being elected to represent Texas members on the National Leadership Committee. During her eight years as staff, Greisa has held the roles of Civic Engagement Field Manager, National Field Coordinator, Advocacy and Policy Director, and Deputy Executive Director. As a queer, undocumented woman of color who grew up in a working class family, Greisa is the embodiment of the intersectional movement that we need in order to win dignity and freedom for our people.
