It would be amazing if we could organize something large in D.C. itself. Realistically, at this moment, the most we can do is organize smaller protests around the country. I take part in smaller efforts, but I would love to be part of something bigger.
For a rally (let's say) in the future, get people from various groups who advocate for the DREAM Act. Dreamers, immigrant rights groups, and of course people from political groups that normally differ on issues: American progressives who support us, the Conservative Coalition for Immigration Reform, religious groups, etc. Encourage dreamers to come out, ask our teachers/professors who support us to speak, blah blah blah.
If we are able to organize something, just be prepared to be inundated with people telling us we don't even have to right to protest, or that we're criminals, or that we should just go home. But, eh. We get that now anyway.
