“I am one of tens of thousands of first and second generation immigrants who are having a significant, positive impact on the United States,” Montana told Rolling Stone. “I am excited to lead others in this fight to ensure [that] dreamers connect with [the] support they need to get to college and make their American Dream come true.”

In support of the movement, fans are asked to post selfies to their Twitter or Instagram accounts, using the #WeAretheDream hashtag, in order to “spread awareness and stand in solidarity with the belief that everyone should be able to go to college.”
