A House vote on the DREAM Act may be coming soon -- but the vote will be close.
And in the coming days, lawmakers will be looking to their constituents to decide where they stand.
It's a vitally important measure. Providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented youth who serve in the military or work toward a college degree is rooted in the American principles of hard work and fairness.
OFA supporters have made calls to key senators in preparation for the Senate vote. Now, your representative needs to hear that you support the DREAM Act -- and why. Theirs could be the deciding vote.
Will you write a letter to your representative today?
If they've already been fighting for the DREAM Act, it's important they know you have their back -- and if they aren't yet supporting it, let them know where you stand. It'll only take a minute, and it could make all the difference.
We've worked hard for this moment. For years, immigration reform advocates have fought to give undocumented youth a chance to earn their citizenship through hard work and sacrifice -- and this current push for the DREAM Act represents the culmination of those efforts.
And with the support of the President and 70 percent of Americans, the time to finish the job is now.
With this vote, we have a chance to make sure that these youth have a shot at the American dream.
