Connecticut Students for a DREAM(C4D) is a statewide organization of DREAMers and
allies that seeks to empower undocumented students and their families by advocating for their
rights and raising awareness about the issues they face.
This statewide network of DREAMers and allies seeks to accomplish three main goals:
Empower, Educate, Advocate
We promote equal access to higher education and work toward a more just society where
undocumented immigrants are not discriminated against because of their status, exercise selfdetermination, and achieve their full potential.
If you would like to get involved with our organization, receive updates from us, or have any
questions or concerns, please contact us!
