DREAM Activists To Share Holiday Wish With Rep. Cooper

DateTuesday, December 15, 2009 at 2:07PM

Join us as we ask Rep. Cooper to take leadership on the DREAM Act!Date:  Thursday, Dec. 17th, 2009

Time:  3:00-5:00pm

Place: TO CARPOOL, meet at TIRRC at 3:00pm. FINAL LOCATION is outside the downtown library at 3:30pm

Come join teachers, students, and community members as we deliver a symbolic holiday tree to Rep. Cooper as we ask him to co-sponsor the DREAM Act.

Every year an estimated 65,000 students who grew up in the United States graduate from high school and can't go on to college because of their immigration status. The Dream Act would allow our students equal opportunity to access higher education as well as a pathway to citizenship so they can fully contribute to our society.

This holiday season let us come together and unite to turn our dreams into reality.
