CASO mourns the passing of dear friend Tam Tran, one of the founding members of this group. She has left behind some loving memories for all of us, and has inspired us to continue fighting for her DREAMs and hopes.
On the morning of Saturday, May 15, 2010 Tam was with fellow DREAMER, Cinthya Félix when they were hit by a car on the way back from a speaking engagement in Maine. Cinthya died at the scene. Tam was airlifted to Eastern Maine Medical Center where she died from her injuries later that afternoon.
This video tells the story of Tam and Cinthya’s struggles as undocumented students, and then their perseverance to pass the DREAM Act. The film inspires us to keep Tam’s name alive as we fight to pass Rhode Island’s in-state tuition legislation.
A scholarship for undocumented students has been established in Tam Tran’s name. Send a donation to honor Tam, and contribute to her DREAM of making college accessible to all undocumented students.
