It is still not clear when the DREAM Act will actually come to a vote on the Congressional/Senate floor but what is clear is that student and young activists across the country are on their game in terms of keeping the pressure on.
Some of the Texas DREAMers on hunger strike moved their protest inside the office of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, conducting a sit in that ended with 15 protesters getting arrested. Reports say that Hutchison did not want the protesters arrested but that the owner of the building where her office is did.
Hutchinson has said that she does not support the DREAM Act because she claims it goes beyond children who were brought to the U.S. as children.

30 Nov 2010There is so much going on, between the DREAM Act, Wikileaks and well everything else in day to day life that I am going to try my best to catch everyone up. I will be stepping away from the computer today and onto the airwaves at about 11:30 am. EST
As part of the buildup for the Digital Diversity Summit I will be participating in this weekend, I will be on Kansas’s NPR affiliate KCUR’s Central Standard with the organizer of the summit, Simran Sethi, Associate Professor of Journalism at the University of Kansas.
Part of the discussion will be on the use of twitter and its applications in communities of color and the upcoming digital diversity summit developed by Prof. Sethi’s KU students and co-sponsored by UNITY.
I hope you can tune in. You can also follow discussions on Twitter by following the #digitaldiversity hashtag.
