————————————————

Last June 23rd, things got moving.  We synchronized Dream Act Graduation Day all over the country: The US Capitol in Washington DC, Los Angeles City Hall, St. Matthews Church in Arizona, San Jose City Hall, the Colorado State Capitol, Miami Dade College, St. Ann’s Church in Chicago, St. Mary’s Church in Indianapolis, Johnson Memorial Park in New Jersey, Senator Hagan’s office in Greensboro (NC), Mason Park in Houston, and even a campsite in Montana heard the message of Dreamers looking for social change. We undeniably would have had events in places like Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and New York – but we decided to make our presence known specially loud in Washington, DC.

That day, 500 Dreamers from all over the country came to Washington, DC and brought their message of hope, education and service to our country to the offices of their congressional representatives. This time, we are going back to school to let Congress know we are part of the communities they represent.

Please join the United We Dream Network in standing up for undocumented students four weeks for now. Since our graduation, we have stood up and slowed down deportations. On September 23rd, thousands of students all over the country will rise together and declare that it is Back to School DREAM ACT Day of Action.

Register your action here: http://dreamactivist.org/backtoschool

The DREAM Act, a piece of legislation that would create a path to legal status through college education or military service for undocumented youth who have been in this country since an early age, was first introduced in 2001. Waiting for its passage has meant a lot of pain and uncertainty for undocumented students, but it has also seen them create and organize in unprecedented ways. The community that started this website is one of those examples, as is each one of those groups of people that organized the actions of last June and the many more we will have next month.

In the next days and weeks, we will have more advice about how to move forward, and a place to register your local events. Things are moving quick for Dream student organizing all over the country, and we have some big things coming up. In the next few weeks, United We Dream will begin its transition towards a full-fledged organization by introducing its newly-hired national coordinator, DreamActivist will relaunch with a brand-new design and new features, and immigrant youth will once again stand up to call for passage of the DREAM Act and a better, more just, more human immigration policy in this country.

Please help us get the ball rolling by Facebooking, Digging, and emailing this post. Now more than ever: don’t just dream, ACT!
