1,000 Strong in Washington



Hey guys! Sorry for not keeping you guys posted for almost a week... It's been a rough week with school and other things....But I'm back with all the latest info on whats been happening with the Dream act! Well for starters I'll begin by sharing with you guys that a couple days ago I received an email from the Dream Team in LA saying that thanks to all of your guys' efforts Congressman Baca and Congresswoman Laura Richardson both co-sponsored the Dream Act!!! Additionally, they are inviting all dream activists, and those interested in learning more about what needs to be getting done, to tune in on a statewide conference call taking place April 20th at 6:00pm, to reserve a spot in the call here.

And great news! There are now 35 senators co-sponsoring the Dream Act, two of which are recent are Senator Lautenberg and Menendez from New Jersey.......

Change is happening dreamers, keep e-mailing, keep spreading the word.... "For every action, there is a consequence," and soon will come the reward....

We continue to inspire each other and inspire others. And when it comes to inspiration we can look to dream activists in the state of Washington who rallied for the Dream Act this past week rounding up more than 1,000 supporters. Check out the article here.

On a more critical note.... the state of Arizona needs your help! A horrendous bill is about to be passed that would allow racial profiling to be legal in the state of Arizona.... With this law, if you are a person of color that is enough suspicion granted to police officers to pull you over because you might be considered illegal..... What???! In the 21st century? Really????

It's a ridiculously disgusting bill... and they need all the help the can get to put an end to it. The bill sits on the Governor's desk as of today April 19, 2010, and it is the moment in which we all need to come together against this injustice. Help veto this bill here. Forward the link to your friends and family and come together to fight against the bill!!!




With that said, continue your studies, continue to fight, and continue to thrive! With courage and hope... Yes we can.
