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.

Hunger Strike for Dream Act

Tomorrow, June 1st, a group of immigrant youth from the NYS Youth Leadership Council will begin a hunger strike in front of Sen. Schumer's (D-NY) office. Sen. Schumer has the power to bring the Dream Act to a vote immediately.

Sen. Schumer is the chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee under the Judiciary. He is the person responsible for the imminent failure of comprehensive immigration reform in 2010. Stand firm and demand the Dream Act as a stand alone legislation in 2010 -- a downpayment on comprehensive immigration reform.

Show the Democratic leadership that they do not get your support for free!

Join us for a press conference and a rally as the Hunger Strike Begins:

Tuesday, June 1st
10am EST

Outside of Senator Schumer's NYC Office
757 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017
Between 48th and 47th on 3rd Ave

Be there. The strikers will not succeed without you!
