ACTION ALERT: Take Action In Support of the DREAM ACT (Re-Introduced in House and Senate!)

March 24, 2009

This month, the “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act” will be (re)introduced in both the House and the Senate. The DREAM Act would restore states’ rights to determine residency requirements for in-state tuition and establish a path to legal status and eventual citizenship for undocumented youth. These measures would address significant barriers to the success of hardworking immigrant students who were brought to this country at a young age and desire to fully contribute to American society.

Please sign the DREAM ACT 2009 Petition!

Please contact your Senators and State Representative:

1. Urge your Representatives and Senators to co-sponsor the DREAM Act.
2. The DREAM Act is a bipartisan piece of legislation that would allow our country to retain promising and hardworking immigrant youth.
3. Our country would reap great benefits from the DREAM Act. Passage of the act would encourage immigrant students to pursue higher education, allowing them to fully contribute to our economy.
4. These youth have grown up in America and become part of our communities. They have embraced our country’s values, maintained upstanding lives, and aspire to become full participants in American society.
