Now in its tenth year of existence, the California Dream Network (CDN) has been at the forefront of immigrant youth organizing and civic engagement in California. A program of the Los Angeles Coalition for Immigrant Human Rights (CHIRLA), the CDN began in 2003 as an effort to reconnect with and continue organizing alumni of CHIRLA's high school program for immigrant youth, Wise Up!, as they entered college and founded immigrant student support and advocacy groups.1 The CDN's purpose is to respond to the needs of undocumented immigrant students and engage them in campaigns to promote social change around immigration reform and access to higher education. The CDN began as a network of 11 college and university organizations serving immigrant students across the state. Today, the CDN has more than 50 member organizations spanning many California colleges and universities.

Finally, the third section of this article discusses the economic and immigration challenges faced by CDN members. The CDN's founding members included many of the Wise Up! former students who took part in the campaign to pass Assembly Bill 540 (AB 540), California legislation that provides in-state tuition to students who attended high school in California, regardless of their immigration status. ...... half of the document ...... special help for undocumented students at public colleges and universities throughout California.3 Introduced by the Obama administration in June 2012, DACA is an administrative program through the where youth without eligible documents can apply for deferred action (a discretionary decision to postpone an individual's deportation) for a period of two years, subject to renewal.
