Over the course of a year, student authors in the Juntos NC Writing Project participated in the Literary and Community Initiative to write, publish, and share their lived experiences and identities as Latinx immigrants and first‐generation high school students in North Carolina. Throughout the publication process of their collaborative bilingual book titled The Voices of Our People: Nuestras Verdades, student authors actively engaged in pursuing advocacy and activism in three ways: (1) community space as an intentional space for advocacy, (2) writing as a vehicle for collective advocacy, and (3) publishing and sharing as an opportunity for youth activism. The participants’ words and actions demonstrated how youth in community organizations can use literacy practices to collectively advocate for their community and become activists who write about and vocalize immigrant youth’s strengths and needs.

“他们是行动者”：为社区组织中的移民青年提倡写作

在一年的时间里，Juntos NC写作项目的学生作者参加了“文学与社区计划”，撰写，出版并分享了他们在北卡罗来纳州的拉丁移民和第一代高中学生的生活经历和身份。在他们的合作双语书籍《我们的声音：Nuestras Verdades》的整个发行过程中，学生作者通过三种方式积极地追求倡导和行动主义：（1）社区空间作为倡导的有意空间；（2）作为集体倡导工具的写作；以及（3）发布和分享作为青年行动主义的机会。参与者的言行表明了社区组织中的青年如何利用识字实践来集体倡导自己的社区，并成为积极分子，他们撰写和表达移民青年的优势和需求。
