DREAM Act Today

The Dream Act Starts with You

Reflect and regroup

What happened

Here’s what really happened on Saturday: laws didn’t change. Nobody destroyed your dreams. Nobody said that you will never be recognized. Nobody claimed, “this is it, your fight is over.” This is as far as the Dream Act has ever been taken. And you took it here.

How to make sense of it

There is no “due by” date on the Dream Act. You can either leave the battle in the hands of the willing and hope that the law will arrive in time, or you can join the ranks and fight.

Real work towards the Dream Act in 2010

The Dream Act legislation is the only option for many undocumented youth who were brought to the United States as children. At the Dream Act Portal we've made significant changes that let you contribute two minutes at a time -- and earn advocacy points in the process -- toward achievable goals that will take us closer to the passage of the Dream Act.

Two hundred eighteen representatives and sixty senators is the majority vote needed in Congress to pass the Dream Act. Help us identify key legislators by volunteering your time at http://dreamact.info/advocacy and by writing about the Portal and our community project on your blog or elsewhere.

Tweeting, friending, and YouTub[ing] about Dream is not enough. Be recognized by your peers as one of the active volunteers in our community. Others have already contributed by researching their legislators' stance on the Dream Act and posting their findings on the Portal. You can reward their efforts by casting a vote for their contributions.

Do this:

  • Spend the next two minutes on our Advocacy page.
  • Write about us and send us a link.

We hope you find the new updates interesting and useful. Volunteer to help us meet our advocacy goals and let us know how we can improve.
