Here it goes again.


I know you've seen this in a million different websites, but here they are again! The 10 Ways You Can Help the Dream Act!!!


1. CALL - Pick up the phone and call your Senator or Representative today. Dial 202-224-3121 or use the NCLR guide to be connected to your member of Congress and speak out in favor of the DREAM Act.


2. MEET Congressional Recess is happening NOW! That means from Apr 5th to Apr 19th, your congressional representative (Both House Rep and Senators) will be in town to meet people from their districts and hear issues that concerns them. Call and make appointments today - DO not be scared or nervous. Follow the guidelines here -http://dreamactivist.org/take-action-2/meet-with-your-senator-or-representative/ You have about 11 days! Hurry!


3. PETITION MAILING LIST Get on the mailing list by signing the petition -http://dreamact2009.com/ Over 7500 people have signed already. Leave a testimony, maybe even your own story, for the DREAM Act for ages to come!


4. EMAIL Change.org has a page to help you email your congressional representatives in support of the DREAM Act.



5. FAX America's Voice has a page to help you fax your congressional representatives in support of the DREAM Act.http://americasvoiceonline.org/page/speakout/DaretoDream


6. SOCIAL NETWORKING Invite more people to DREAM Act 2009 - United We DREAM Facebook Cause now over 15,000 people and follow us on Twitter and even Myspace.


7. TEXT Text "Justice" ("Justicia" for Spanish) to 69866 to be alerted about the DREAM Act as it moves through Congress. FIRM's Mobile Action Network is an excellent way to stay connected and have maximum impact at just the right moment.http://fairimmigration.wordpress.com/2009/03/20/action-join-the-fight-for-immigrant-rights/


8. DONATE Thank you so much for your donations via Facebook Causes as well as donations@dreamactivist.org. Here, no one gets paid to work on the DREAM Act--we cannot afford ourselves. Hence, we are in need of funding for mass mailing, distribution, covering workshop costs, organizing on-the-ground, maintaining and updating the websites. Please keep them up and encourage your friends to contribute as well even if it is a $1 (1.0 unit) - http://dreamactivist.chipin.com/


9. STAY UPDATED Follow sites like http://dreamactivist.org/, http://undergroundundergrads.com/ and http://dreamact.info/ for the latest action and alerts on the DREAM Act. DreamAct.info hosts a forum for Dreamers and has actually formulated Info for Organizers, including Senate target lists. Check it out!


10. ORGANIZE The most important action for change comes from the grassroots.Here is an organizing manual that USSA has sent for DreamActivists on how to get a student club started to promote and pass the DREAM Act. Sample resolutions are available on our resources page.


I know it's a lot of information but it's a lot easier than it seems at a glance. Give it a try! It will make a difference!


And as always, don't hesitate to drop me a comment with your questions or concerns as I am always here to help!


XOXO.
