MAINE RALLY & VIGIL TO KEEP SELVIN HOME AND SUPPORT THE DREAM ACT
Selvin
Selvin is an immigrant from Guatemala who came to the US at the age of 14.
He works hard, pays taxes and wants to go to college. But he’s about to be deported back to Guatemala because of his undocumented immigrant status.
The DREAM Act is a bi-partisan bill in Congress that helps young people like Selvin stay home by rewarding hard work and gives an earned path to legal status. Only by passing the DREAM Act can Selvin stay home and continue to contribute to the American economy and achieve the American Dream.
The DREAM Act is expected to come up for a vote next week.
WHAT: Rally in Lewiston & ONGOING Interfaith Vigil in Portland

Friday @3:30PM: RALLY in Lewiston, Maine
