Dream Act hunger strike, Day 9
If you live in or around the New York City area, the hunger strikers need you more than ever tomorrow, June 10th, at noon at 3rd and 47th in Manhattan. As of now, they are in their 9th day without food.
This Tuesday the hunger strikers held a press conference demanding that Sen. Schumer meet with them before the end of the week. Prior to that demand, Sen. Schumer has offered a meeting on June 18th knowing well that the hunger strikers will not live that long.
Tomorrow, Thursday June 10th, at noon the strikers will hold another press conference and a rally to call Sen. Schumer out on his unwillingness to spend even a few minutes of his time talking to the strikers. Be there, at 3rd and 47th in New York City to give the hunger strikers the energy to publically confront Sen. Schumer.
What to expect: All you have to do is show up and join the crowd. The media needs to see people out on the street or they will not report the story.
If you have school, skip it. If you have work, take off. Comprehensive immigration reform is as good as dead in 2010. This hunger strike is an important step toward the Dream Act as a standalone bill this year, a down payment on immigration reform in the future.
