Why We Can't Wait: City-Wide DREAM Act Meeting
Sunday: August 29th, 2010 12:30pm - 3:00pm
Congress Lounge, Roosevelt University
430 S. Michigan Ave
Chicago, IL


A Call to All DREAM Activists: Reach Out. Re-Connect. Unite!

Since the Dream Act was first introduced in 2001 its most vocal advocates have been legislators, educators and clergymen. Finally this movement is coming of age as undocumented students stand up and take ownership of their fight. 

On August 29th, 12:30-3 PM, Immigrant Youth Justice League will be hosting an organizing meeting at Roosevelt University’s Congress Lounge. It is time for us to harness the momentum and for everyone willing to lend a helping hand to stand up. 65,000 compounded by over ten years of waiting is not just a number. Our friends cannot wait, our brothers cannot wait, our sisters cannot wait, and we cannot wait. 
This is a youth-led DREAM Act organizing forum. It is time youth from around the city gather to push DREAM, we invite you to come together and share our ideas, strategies, plans and actions.
