[Delgadillo, Theresa]

REMINDER – EVENT TONIGHT, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH FEATURING CESAR VARGAS

Cesar Vargas is a nationally recognized leader at the forefront of the fight for immigration reform and the DREAM Act. Cesar was brought to New York from Mexico at age 5 after his father passed away. He excelled academically and was an honors student in both college and law school. As an undocumented law graduate from the City University of New York School of Law, he led the fight for equal opportunity and access to the practice of law. In February of 2016, he was sworn-in as a licensed attorney making history as the first undocumented lawyer to openly apply to the state of New York.
 Cesar works at the heart of the DREAMer movement. Nationwide and on Capitol Hill, Cesar and his organization he co-founded, the Dream Action Coalition, have been key players in the policy battle for a better immigration policy. His advocacy and story helped in the national efforts to convince President Obama to take executive action to create the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
