Diana Martinez Quintana writes a piece for the Kansas Reflector on the importance of continuing to fight for Undocumented youth.

Ten years after President Obama's executive action on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals , there’s still a lot to fight for in the immigrant justice space.

Next100 Policy Entrepreneur Diana Martinez Quintana wrote an op-ed for the Kansas Reflector where she reflects on her experience as an Undocumented youth and how Undocumented youth deserve more than Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Diana writes:

“The vast majority of the American people want a pathway to citizenship for their friends, family and neighbors. Our elected leaders have the power to fix the broken system, but we will all have to apply pressure to make sure they follow through.”
