The Dreams Across America

The Dreams Across America Tour is a nationwide journey via train that educates the public to dispel myths, give real facts, and shares personal stories about the need for just and humane immigration reform in this country.


On May 31, 2007, Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, talked about his goal and dream, as an immigrant to help connect the United States and the Muslim world.

In eight days (June 13th- 20th) via ten cities, The Dreams Across America Tour brought together one hundred diverse individuals from throughout the country referred to as Dreamers. These Dreamers shared their compelling stories and reinforced what still holds true today – no matter our backgrounds, immigrant or native born, we all cherish the values that make this country prosper. However, only by working together to address our nation’s broken immigration laws, can we continue to achieve and live the American dream.

The Dreams Across America Tour concluded in Washington, D.C. on June 19 and 20 where Dreamers from across the country joined hundreds of immigrant children and their families at an event organized by the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM). Dreamers also shared their stories with Members of Congress so they may hear first-hand from their constituents about the human impact of our broken immigration system and the need for just immigration reform legislation that addresses the realities of our country, economy and immigrant families.
