The time to act to pass the DREAM Act is now.
Over the last year we have made great gains fighting for the DREAM Act. We have managed to convince 40 senators and 124 representatives to co-sponsor the DREAM Act, giving us their commitment to move forward with the bill.
All of this is great news. It means that we are close to getting the DREAM this year; it means that all of our work has been paying off.
But we must also not forget years past, we have been here before. In 2007 we had the same opportunity to pass the DREAM Act, however we were not able to convince our legislators that taking a gamble on us would pay off. This year has to be different. This year we have to show our legislators that they have no choice but to pass the DREAM Act.
We know youth are ready to take action. We know you are all ready to fight and take a last stand for what you believe in and so we are asking that you join us in Washington D.C. for three days of escalating action.
When: Monday, July 19th through Wednesday, July 21st
Where: Washington D.C.
What: Mass DREAM Mobilization to show our collective power in demanding the movement of the DREAM Act in congress. Actions include lobbying, graduation ceremony, a DREAM concert, multiple rallies and more.
Who: You and over 3,000 supporters just like you.
We need support from everyone to pull this off. Students from Dream Team Los Angles are already organizing a caravan from California to D.C., making stops in key states along the way to drum up support for DREAM before their final destination in D.C. on the 19th!
Donations can be made directly to us at http://www.thedreamiscoming.com/donate/
All funds will be used to make this action a reality.
The time to act for the Dream Act is Now! Our Dreams can’t wait any longer.
We cannot wait to see everyone in D.C.
