DREAM Mexico City - a Photo Re Cap of the Big Day

Despite the threat of a lingering thunderstorm, August 28th, 2009 was a good day for Dreamers, especially the 70 or so natives of Mexico City (and a few from New York!) who made it to Justin's inaugural, international, photo portrait. The final image that was captured won't be shown until all five have been printed, but here is a collage of images from the day (courtesy of Maggie Turner). Many thanks to all who showed up to make this a day one that will last long in our memories. We can hope it leads to more of such international exchanges of human solidarity, unfiltered by media commentary or government intervention.
