Daily Dream: 22 New Cosponsors, 10 Ways to Act

Published April 02, 2009 @ 05:43AM PT

Hop over to the Criminal Justice blog for my post there about how, through the criminalization of immigration policy, our government is locking up and deporting valedictorians, athletes, scholars, and future leaders.

Visit the Dream Act Ideas blog and Dreamactivist.org for frequent updates on the bill's progress. Recently, 22 additional cosponsors in Congress have signed on to the Act.

And here are 10 ways you can personally help make Dream a reality. I'll be posting updates from the Sanctuarysphere later in the day.

We need your voice Senate Bill 170 The Democratic-controlled Colorado Senate could as early as today debate the bill, which would grant in-state tuition, regardless of immigration status, to:

"A person ... who attends a Colorado high school for at least 3 years and enrolls in a Colorado institute of higher education within 5 years after either graduating from a Colorado high school or earning a general education diploma in Colorado."
