What Winning Actually Means for Us

New Jersey Immigrant testimonials and gratitudes for Cosecha about how winning driver’s licenses will affect their lives

Blessings. You do not know the magnitude this has in my life. As a single mother I needed to work and travel by car.

My family and I cried together at home when I arrived and shared the news of our great victory, just as we did together in the church [where hundreds of Cosecha New Jersey members watched the legislature vote to approve licenses]. Thank you for the grace and heroism of a handful of men, women, and children like David, above all thanks to God because today we raise only one flag, the flag of victory! And thank you to COSECHA, who never wavered in their efforts, not in rain, in sun, in snow did you stop. God bless you.

Thank you very much, although I would have liked to join you [at the march] I wasn't able to get the day off work, so I will just thank you for your effort to achieve this history step for all of us who need something as important as a driver's license, for all of us who don't have legal status in this country.

Thank you so much for your tireless work to make this long-awaited dream come true! God bless you all always

Thank you for all who fought after 15 years, who remember the immigrants of New Jersey, the immigrants who will not be invisible, thank you God in front of everything, everything is possible in this life and in the United States, yes we could! Thanks God, thanks to everyone, from my heart, thank you for the great achievement for the state of New Jersey and us New Jersey immigrants, who have longed for this great day, for New Jersey and the whole country. Thank you to everyone who went to protest on that wonderful, unforgettable day that that will be etched in my memory my whole life and for all the state of New Jersey.

Woohoo! That is the best thing that has happened here in this state.

Thank you for taking the time to congratulate us, from my heart I wish you a Merry Christmas, thank you for giving us a different Christmas, one full of peace and hope.

Thank you, Merry Christmas to all those fighters from Cosecha who are real champions because without you all none of what is happening with the licenses would be possible.
