COR youth leaders, Chabot College students, and community faith leaders are coming together Wednesday, December 1st in the Cesar Chavez courtyard of Chabot College at 12 pm to rally their community to urge Congress to pass the DREAM Act.

COR leaders are joining PICO leaders across the country in this effort because we believe in protecting human dignity, especially that of our children.  Thousands of hard working young people who were brought to the United States as infants or children can now be locked up in federal detention centers and deported to a country they've never known.  The DREAM Act could stop the injustice by giving students who have grown up and graduated high school in the United States the opportunity to earn legal status through higher education or Military Service. 

Join COR and people of faith across the country as we pray for the deliberations of our representatives for our youth and the future of America on this important day.
