Empowering Dreamers: A Day of Resources, Advocacy, and Community

On January 18, the Latino Action Network Foundation, in partnership with Kean University’s CRECE: Hispanic Leadership Center, hosted the first-ever Statewide Dreamers Conference & Resource Fair at Kean University. This landmark event brought together Dreamers, advocates, and community leaders to provide critical resources and guidance for undocumented immigrants facing growing challenges.


The day began with welcoming remarks from key figures, including New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin, who delivered a powerful keynote speech reaffirming the state’s commitment to protecting immigrant communities. Attendees had access to workshops on Know Your Rights topics, covering legal protections, healthcare access, education opportunities, and workers' rights.


Beyond workshops, the event fostered networking and community-building, allowing attendees to connect with local organizations offering ongoing support. With the threats to immigrant rights under the incoming federal administration, this conference served as an urgent call to action and a reminder of the strength found in unity and advocacy.


For those who could not attend, we’ve compiled important resources shared during the event.
