Call your Senator to say YES to DREAMs

from Marissa Graciosa, Reform Immigration FOR America

Tomorrow, the Senate will decide whether or not the DREAM Act will move forward. President Obama said that it’s time for Congress to act and he supports the legislation[1] .

This is the most critical moment in the fight for comprehensive immigration reform to this point. Passing the DREAM Act this week will be a sign that Congress is serious about fixing our broken system once and for all. And we need to do everything we can to make sure that happens.

Click the headline to call Congress and say YES to DREAMs.

As you read this, our opposition is flooding Congress with calls in their attempt to block any legislation that might benefit immigrants. We have to be sure that our voices are louder than theirs. We have to be sure that Congress hears from those of us who stand on the side of justice for ALL.

The DREAM Act will allow students who are undocumented to attend college or join the military. That’s why it’s an amendment to the defense reauthorization bill – giving young people the chance to serve. But there are still senators who need to hear from us.

We’re closer than ever to getting the comprehensive reform we need, but it won’t happen without doing everything we can.


P.S. - And don't forget to have your friends call in to Congress (English: 866-996-5161 or Spanish: 866-961-4293) to demand reform, tweet it, and share it on Facebook! We need to make sure every Senator hears from us before tomorrow's vote!
