On the same night that Senator Obama was elected President, the right to gay marriage was struck down in California with the passage of Proposition 8. Our movement must overturn Prop 8 and defend the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexual, and transgender people. The LGBT community and the immigrant communities are both gripped in the struggle to end their second-class treatment and to defeat irrational prejudices and discrimination. One of the central aims of the new civil rights movement must be to unite these two struggles into a single movement inexorably bound together by their shared fight for equality.

Winning passage of the federal Dream Act to give undocumented immigrant students the ability to obtain financial aid and a pathway to citizenship is a key demand of Latina/o and immigrant students and youth. Our struggle to overturn Prop 8 will be immeasurably strengthened if the leaders of the campaign to overturn Prop 8 take up the struggle to attain the immediate passage of the Dream Act. Our struggle to win the Dream Act will also be strengthened if we make the concerted effort that the mainstream leaders of the opposition to Prop 8 failed to make, of winning Latina/o, immigrant and black community support for equal rights for the LGBT community.

Reestablishing our national commitment to equal educational opportunities through the restoration of affirmative action and integration programs is vitally needed to end the discrimination in admissions of Latina/o, black, Native American and other underrepresented students within the UC system. Returning UC Berkeley, UCLA, and other public universities into centers of critical thought and progressive initiative requires transforming our campuses into diverse, integrated, affordable, sanctuary campuses. Ending the unconscionable Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy of raids and deportations, including at schoolhouse doors and on college campuses, is something President Obama can achieve by a simple stroke of the pen the minute he takes office and assumes control of ICE.
