Daily DREAMer
Lost in the barrage of media coverage about the DREAM Act are the hopes, dreams, and stories of individual DREAMers. This week we’re bringing you the real life stories of young Americans-at-heart who will have their fates decided for them by the Senate before Christmas.
Bernard Pastor, a DREAMer in Ohio who was brought to the States when he was three, currently is in immigration detention and facing deportation. Bernard graduated near the top of his high school class and was a standout athlete, the soccer team’s star. He dreams of attending college and someday being a pastor. His former classmates and others he’s touched in his community are in shock at his having been detained and are rallying to support him.
Part of Bernard’s story is told in this very moving 5-minute video posted on Vimeo. And, in a 3-minute YouTube video, you can hear Bernard’s sister reading a letter he wrote from immigration detention.
After watching the videos, please call Ohio Senator George Voinovich at 866-957-2612 and urge him to realize the DREAM for Bernard and other Buckeye DREAMers such as him.
After you’ve called Senator Voinovich, dial 866-957-2612 to tell the senators from your own state that you expect them to support the DREAM Act as well.
Together, we can make these DREAMs a reality!
