Sofia Campos

"Sofia Campos is a commitment to sustainable, transformative social justice movement for the sake of our beloved community and liberation. Born in Peru and raised in California, Sofia became involved in the immigrant youth movement after discovering she was undocumented in 2007. She served as Board Chair of United We Dream from 2011-2014 and recently earned her Master’s in City Planning degree at MIT. As part of Improving Dreams, Equality, Access, and Success (IDEAS) at UCLA, she organized for the federal and California DREAM Acts, and the Right to Dream campaign for administrative relief. In 2011, the CA Dream Act passed and in June 2012, President Obama announced Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Over half a million immigrant youth, including Sofia, gained work permits and safety from deportation because of this immigrant youth victory. La lucha sigue."
