Update on the October 23rd Congressional Hearings held in D.C. for the DREAM Act

On October 23rd, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA) organized congressional briefings to garner more co-sponsorship for the DREAM Act. Staffers from Congress members that have yet to co-sponsor were invited and NAKASEC reached out to seven House of Representatives. The hearing brought 20 Senate offices and 15 House offices together, the vast majority of who were not co-sponsors. Dream students shared their testimonies on how the DREAM Act would impact their lives and their future.
