Host a DREAM Act Sabbath
Every year, 65,000 high school graduates walk out of their classrooms and into a world that is closed to them. Children, raised on American soil, denied the American dream because they lack the proper paperwork. Host a DREAM Sabbath and help raise awareness about the DREAM Act while moving our country towards more humane and just immigration policies.
