Call for a clean DREAM Act

Updated Sunday, Dec. 1, 2017.

Since the September announcement to rescind DACA, effective March 5, 2018, no bills have been passed to offer protection to the 800,000 DREAMers.

According to Indivisible MN, "Democrats said that they would use the leverage they would have on the December government spending bill to protect DREAMers. But just 8 Senate Democrats kept their word by voting against the continuing resolution. The rest voted to deport Dreamers. Sen. Klobuchar was not among those eight. Call to make sure she follows through on Friday, Dec. 22, the next opportunity they’ll have to fight for Dreamers." Contact Sen. Klobuchar to fight for DREAMers.

Raise your voice now to help get the DREAM Act passed soon. If it's not passed on it's own, we need to demand that it's part of the tax spending bill. Make the pledge to keep fighting for the DREAM Act, then call your members of Congress and ask that they do the same.

Check out this great resource from Indivisible on how to get in touch with your representatives and what to say.
