Sample script: Hello, I'm calling as a constituent of (your state) and as a member of Asian Pacific Americans for Progress (APAP) to support the DREAM Act. The DREAM ACT has significant impacts on the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, making higher education more accessible and affordable for our youth. It would provide a pathway to citizenship to undocumented students who arrived in the U.S. before the age of 15, have lived in the U.S for at least five years, graduated from a U.S. high school and are pursuing their education or serving in the military. I call on
to support the DREAM Act. *Note: Be willing to give out your contact information to Congressional staffers to identify you as a constituent of their respective areas.

This issue would have significant impacts on our community. Nearly 40% of the students at University of California system alone that would benefit from the DREAM Act are AAPI
