At Woodburn High School, he served as vice
president of his class. While earning good grades, he participated in
sports and volunteer opportunities like 4-H Latino Summer Camp,
encouraging young people to enter the STEM field. After graduating, Aldo became a DACA recipient. Through DACA, he has
been able to work for the Latino Health Coalition, where he worked to
pass Cover All Kids, a State law to ensure access to healthcare for
every child in Oregon. This winter, he will begin working towards a
public health degree at Portland State University. Without DACA, none of this would have been possible for Aldo. Young
people across the country are relying on us. We need to pass a clean
Dream Act that will recognize Aldo and over 800,000 DREAMers as equal
members of our community.
