Sociology student, Miriam Tellez, attended the State of the Union address in Washington D.C. as a guest of Representative Gil Cisneros. Tellez is a beneficiary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA, and is on track to graduate this May.
Tellez recalled, “It was important to be visible of my identity as an immigrant and to have conversations with politicians because they have the power to make laws.” See this interview in Spanish on Estrella TV: Noticias 62.
