Sara Mora was born in Costa Rica, and immigrated to New Jersey with her family when she was three years old. Sara began her activism in her teen years by sharing her story of being an undocumented immigrant. She interviewed the President of Costa Rica about DACA. DACA, is an acronym for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It protects around 800,000 young people — known as “DREAMers” — who entered the United States unlawfully as children. The program does not grant them official legal status or a pathway to citizenship, but it does allow them to apply for a driver’s license, social security number, and work permit.
Sara uses social media to create content using her camera on her phone and launched POP Mic. Population MIC is a media platform and resource that she uses like a virtual diary and to host conversations around immigration.
Sara has become a sought-after voice in the work of social change. She has collaborated with brands like, Levi’s, MTV, Adobe, Always, the Body Shop, Banana Republic, UNICEF and many more.
Today, Sara is a speaker, an immigrant rights activist and working in digital media strategy, consulting on how storytelling can change the world. Sara is dedicated to being a symbol of hope and courage in the face of adversity. Let’s jump in and meet Sara!
