D.C. Week of Action! | What you can do right now for the DREAM

[Mn Immigrant Freedom Network]

Dear Students and Friends,

DREAMers from across the nation have been working hard in Washington D.C. this week, organizing countless actions and events that demonstrate a broad coalition of Dream Act supporters — from faith and military leaders to university presidents, economic experts and the majority of the American public. Watch the video here: DREAM Act Christmas Special - Asking the Senate to Act.

You, too, can take action even if you’re not in D.C. In Minnesota, we are lucky to have the support from both Senators Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar as co-sponsors of the DREAM Act. Give them a call to say thanks: 866-996-5161. However, a handful of key senators still need to favor the bill so it can pass.

The following, from both parties, have been determined to be potential supporters although they are still on the fence:

Bob Bennett (R-UT), 202-224-5444
Susan Collins (R-ME), 202-224-2523
Kay Hagan (D-NC), 202-224-6342
Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), 202-224-5922            
Landrieu (D-LA), 202-224-5824
Mary LeMieux (R-FL), 202-224-3041
Claire McCaskill (D-MO), 202-224-6154
Lisa Murkowski (R-AL), 202-224-6665
Olympia Snowe (R-ME), 202-224-5344
George Voinovich (R-OH), 202-224-3353

If you have friends or family from any of these states, ask them to make some calls to keep the dream alive this holiday season. It's a busy time of year, but we need all hands on deck for the big push to win. 

Sincerely,

Allison Lebow

P.S. We are currently compiling personal stories about DREAMers from each state, and we still need contacts in the Dakotas. If you or someone you know can connect us to anybody in either North or South Dakota, please reply to this email. Thanks!
