Great news! The CMSC is pleased to announce that we will be extending our 30-minute documentary Advance Parole.
As you may already know, the CMSC is committed to educate about, and advocate for the reinstatement of the Advance Parole provision for DACA recipients. Thus, we plan to incorporate more stories, voices and testimonies from DACA-mented individuals who traveled with Advance Parole, who participated in our California-Mexico Dreamers Study Abroad Program, and also those who couldn't.
The current version of the documentary features Mayra Garibo, a Senior at CSU Dominguez Hills and a DACA recipient, who could not attend her dad's funeral when he passed away in Mexico early this year. She applied for humanitarian Advance Parole and was denied twice. Mayra was unable to pay the last respects to her beloved father whom she had not seen in 17 years. Now one of her grandparents has cancer and she wants to see him and take care of him before it is too late. But given the administration's heartless decision to suspend Advance Parole for Dreamers, Mayra has to choose between her family in Mexico and her life in the United States.
Advance Parole (the 30-minute version) follows Mayra Garibo's efforts and leadership to challenge the system and pave the way not only for her to reunite with her family in Mexico, but also to prevent Dreamers from suffering a humanitarian and emotional crisis as she endured when her father passed away early this year.
But now, the ADVANCE PAROLE EXTENDED VERSION aims to build upon and share more stories and voices from other Dreamers who either benefited from Advance Parole and those who couldn't. But to move forward with this, we need your help!
