Another day another DREAM. Over the last few days, I have been working hard with Herta Llusho and her brother Lirjon to support their campaign to defer Herta's deportation on August 19, 2009. If you haven't read her story yet, I recommend that you do. Please, take the following actions in support of Herta and help her stay in the only country she knows as her home:
ACTION
- Join the facebook group for immediate updates: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=111108019510
- Sign petition which will be hand-delivered to targets: http://www.change.org/actions
- Use SEIU Click to Call Action Tool to call DHS: http://call.seiu.org/9/hertadhs
- Call
Senator Carl Levin at (202) 224-6221. Urge him to a) introduce private
bill for Herta, and b) write letter to DHS asking them to stop Herta's
deportation.
- Call Senator Stabenow at (202)
224-4822. Urge her to a) introduce private bill for Herta, and b) write

(Please take action to delay Herta's deportation, now. - promoted by kyledeb)
My name is Herta Llusho, I am 19 years old, and I writing this because
I am about to be deported. I was born in Albania and was brought to
the United States when I was 11 years old. With the help and support
of my family, I have struggled through more than seven years of legal
proceedings to find a way to stay in this country legally. Despite our
best efforts, on August 19, I will be removed by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) from the only place I know as my home. I will
be sent back to a country that has become a foreign place to me. I
don't even speak Albanian well anymore. My only hope of staying here
is for as many people as possible to ask DHS to delay my deportation
until the DREAM Act is passed.

(Picture: Harvard Act On A Dream Rally - 1 May 2009)
I took the weekend to rest after what was a hectic last two weeks of school. I won't be able to relax until I get my grades back, but I've started to ease into a summer of pro-migrant advocacy. There's so much that I want to write about, but I should start with Drew Faust's endorsement of the DREAM Act.

It is official. According to the St. Petersburg Times, the DREAM Act will be reintroduced this week by Sen. Richard Durbin and Sen. Richard Lugar:
The movement's moment could arrive as early as Tuesday when Durbin
reintroduces the bill with co-sponsor Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind.
Dreamactivist.org is also beginning to sound the war drums through their change.org blog. Thousands have already been invited to call-in in support of the DREAM Act through facebook. The DREAM Act will be the first major migration policy battle of the 111th Congress and the Obama administration.
As such, I thought it would be good to step back and reflect a little bit on the politics of the DREAM Act. I've already written a post advancing a comprehensive argument for passing the DREAM Act during these trying economic times. It was published on Alternet this morning. Today, I thought I'd reflect a little bit on the political climate the DREAM Act faces.
