On January 1, 2010, four students left Miami, Florida to embark on a 1,500-mile journey to Washington, D.C. to support the passing of the DREAM Act. The students were brought to the U.S. illegally when they were children. They stated, “this is the only country we have known as home.”^[11] Once they reached their endpoint, they requested a meeting with President Barack Obama. This goal was not met by the end of the walk. The youth documented their walk with active blogging on Facebook, Youtube and Twitter and garnered 30,000 signatures throughout their journey.^[12] The press referred to the student walkers as “DREAMers” or “Dream Walkers.” ^[13] The first tweet from the Trail of Dreams Twitter account used to document the 1,500-mile walk.
