The Dream Act Starts with You
Doing our part as walkers enter Washington D.C., Part I
What you do on May 1st will decide the fate of the DREAM Act legislation in 2010.
On January 1st, 2010 a group of courageous individuals started walking from Miami, FL to Washington, D.C. in support of the DREAM Act; a 1,500 miles, 4 month long journey on foot. On April 10th another group started walking from New York City. Both groups will arrive in Washington D.C. on May 1st to be welcomed by DREAM Act supporters converging from all across the country.
As a community, we have a responsibility to the walkers and to the DREAM Act movement to put together and publicize a list of participating organizations and their planned events for May 1st. Individually, you and I have a responsibility to attend these events.
We must react with urgency and resolve. There are days left to inquire from the organizations in your state about their plans to send buses to D.C. to join the rally. Post any relevant events and information to the national calendar. Start now, right now!
We will watch for events being added and will maintain a list of buses leaving for D.C.. Your research will be shared via dozens of thousands of emails to encourage everyone to join us in Washington on May 1st.
Right now, you have to step up to the challenge. The Saturday of May, 1st you have to be in Washington. This will be the single most important thing you did this year.
