Dear Students and Friends,
This is it. After almost ten years and endless hours of dedication from thousands of students and allies across the country, the time has arrived. The DREAM Act is finally here. Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid filed for cloture, which means the vote will happen sometime Saturday, December 18. To make our dream reality, we need a victory tomorrow to send the bill to a final vote.
Please keep calling Senators Franken and Klobuchar, co-sponsors of the DREAM Act, to thank them for their support and let them know why the bill is important to you.
You can call 866-996-5161 to be connected to any senator's office. The Senate will be in Session on Saturday, so you can continue to call until the vote is taken.
Your voice could make the difference.
Thank you for your support,
Allison
P.S. For the last two weeks our Associate Director Alondra Espejel has been organizing in Alaska, visiting high schools, churches, coffee shops, making fliers in Kinko’s, sending press releases -- it's been a challenge. Today Senator Murkowski, in DC, told a group of DREAMers that she supports DREAM and will probably vote for it.
