Do you support the Dreams of Immigrant Youth? Sign the petition! Support New York State DREAM Act that Benefits Undocumented Youth in New York State!

February 14, 2012

We, the undersigned community organizations, coalitions, elected officials, concerned individuals and undocumented youth within the state of New York believe that the United States Congress failed America by not passing the federal DREAM Act in 2010. In the midst of a national assault on immigrant communities, New York must lead now with progressive immigration policies that set the example for the federal government as well as states across the country.

Pending New York DREAM Act will ensure equal access to higher education for all youth, regardless of immigration status. The New York DREAM Act would provide financial resources from public sector as well as SUNY and CUNY scholarships. We stand united in the belief that undocumented youth represent the greatest source of untapped potential in our state.

The New York DREAM Act will open the door for future doctors, lawyers, engineers and teachers to make valuable economic and social contributions to our state.

Now is the time to ensure that New York is a more fair, just and prosperous state. We call on the New York State Legislature, Governor Cuomo and all New Yorkers to support The New York DREAM Act.
