      <image:title>Community Impact - Support DACA with AZDREAMS.org</image:title>
      <image:caption>After President Trump's administration announced the end of DACA status, Pearl worked quickly with a colleague, Luis Avila, and in partnership with the AZ Community Foundation to set up the AZ DREAMs fund to support DACA recipients in renewing their status before the impending deadline. AZDREAMs.org was born, and with the partnership of several business organizations across the state, the campaign raised over $70,000 in less than 2 weeks. This enabled numerous local Arizona organizations to help over 100 families renew their DACA status for another 2 years. Pearl is now working to support leading DACA advocates in securing a permanent and bi-partisan solution for Dreamers that will bring stability and economic prosperity.</image:caption>

A unique community-driven partnership between Arizona universities, community colleges across the state, the Governor's office, College Success Arizona, Helios Education Foundation, and over 70 business and education groups, Expect More Arizona played a key role in the creation and launch of this initiative.</image:caption>
