Photo0226It 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.

In NYC, DREAM activists and the New York State Youth Leadership Council staged and event and press conference  in the heart of Times Square showing that they indeed are the at the crossroads of the future at the crossroads of the world.

The White House held it’s own DREAM Act event which you can see below.

Undocumented young people are risking their health and their freedom. What have you done for the DREAM Act?
