Greetings from Washington, DC. I am getting ready to attend LegCon. For those of you not familiar with this peculiar abbreviation, LegCon stands USSA's Grassroots Legislative Conference and National Student Lobby Day. So yea, LegCon is easy and short.
Hundreds of students from around the country will be here to participate in this annual gathering, and to lobby legislators on a number of issues, including the DREAM Act. UU, along with members of DreamActivist, will be presenting a workshop about the undocumented students and their activism around the country. I will have a full writeup later, but for now you can definitely show your support and warm up for a year-long fight for DREAM by singing the petition.
Before LegCon kicks off, however, I am attending an important event at the Atlantic Video Studios: the launch of the Esperanza Educational Fund. The Esperanza Fund will award immigrant students in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area community-funded college scholarships. Please donate if you have the means.
Pass the DREAM Act.
