Unlock Your Own Potential, Why not you? Shape The Conversation.
Borders. Dreams. Humanity.
The same fears that drive a mother to cross a desert with her child are the fears we feel when we worry about paying rent, about keeping our families safe, about making sure our kids have a future. Those fears are universal. And so is the courage it takes to face them.

Immigration is more than policy—it’s about people, dignity, and opportunity. Why Not Me envisions a system that protects those fleeing hardship, respects those who contribute to our economy, and ensures that America remains a beacon of hope. This movement understands that fair and compassionate immigration reform is essential for the growth and unity of our nation.

Dreamers are as much a part of America as anyone else. They’ve grown up in and contributed to our communities. We support expanding DACA and creating a clear, achievable pathway to citizenship, giving these individuals the security and recognition they deserve.

The Hard Truths We Can't ignore
Building Pathways not walls
believes immigration reform isn’t just about policies, it’s about people. Families seeking safety. Workers striving for a better life. Children growing up in a country they call home, yet still living in the shadows. A nation that turns its back on immigrants forgets its own story. America was built by those who dared to believe in more – immigrants are not strangers to our values, they are proof of them.

A New vision forimmigration reform
- Over 11 million undocumented people contribute to the U.S., yet live without rights or recognition.

Welcome to Why Not Me?
For too long, we've been told to wait, accept low wages, skyrocketing costs, and leaders who work for billionaires instead of us. Why Not Me? is here to change that.
The Republican Party has rigged the system for the wealthy while distracting us with fear and division. And too often, Democrats have failed to fight back. We demand a party that stands with working people, not corporations, not the ultra rich, not political insiders.
This is about power. Our power. The power to lead, to demand better, to build a future where workers come first.
Why Not Me? Why not us? Why not now?
