A Mountain Dreamers<\/a> board member is planning to complete a two-day bike ride from Copper to Aspen this weekend in hopes of raising awareness of the American Dream and Promise Act.<\/p>\n

Javier Pineda, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program recipient from Summit County, is set to begin his ride Saturday from Copper and arrive Sunday in Aspen, 120 miles later.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll take frontage roads and recreation paths along Interstate 70 to Glenwood Springs, then east on Colorado Highway 82 to Aspen. For Pineda, the trip is meant to serve as a symbolic representation of how he and the 17,000 other Colorado Dreamers have overcome challenges on their journeys to contribute to their communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have spent years skiing at Colorado resorts, biking and hiking on Colorado trails, and camping in beautiful Colorado forests,\u201d Pineda said in a prepared statement. \u201cI love this state, and it is my home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe I, along with the other Dreamers in this country, deserve certainty and a pathway to permanent status. When the American Dream and Promise Act passed the house in June, it was a historic step towards a path to citizenship. I hope the Senate will pass similar protections.\u201d<\/p>\n

The American Dream and Promise Act would protect DACA recipients and Temporary Protected Status holders from deportation, and provide a path to permanent resident status for individuals who meet certain requirements.<\/p>\n

Pineda, a longtime Summit County resident, graduated from Summit High School as student body president, and is a Summit Foundation Youth of the Year Philanthropy Award recipient.<\/p>\n

Pineda\u2019s ride will begin at 7:30 a.m. Saturday at Copper Mountain. Community members are invited to come see him off or ride alongside him if they wish. On Friday night, there will be a kickoff party from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at HighSide Brewing in Frisco.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in helping Mountain Dreamers financially can make donations per mile of Pineda\u2019s ride. Go to MountainDreamers.org\/helpmountaindreamers<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
