Monday, May 20th, one-hundred plus attendees filled the Culture Project’s auditorium on Bleecker Street to witness fifteen courageous youth share their stories of being young and undocumented in America.
The performance, sponsored by AALDEF, featured the members of RAISE (Revolutionizing Asian American Immigrant Stories On The East Coast), the first pan-ethnic AAPI undocumented youth group on this side of the country. These young men and women, many of whom were coming out about their status in public for the first time, shared the trials, frustrations, and hopes that come with their uncertain status.
