The pro-migrant blogosphere is abuzz with posts about the federal DREAM Act -- Check out Immigration Clearinghouse, Citizen Orange and Diverse Education for starters.

Part of this new momentum comes from the Change.org Pass the Dream Act movement launched by your very own DreamActivist. Never underestimate the power of minor acts and inconspicuous actions — They can be the start of something new and powerful and if not, we must acknowledge them for the simple fact that nothing should be lost to history. This minor act has inspired students that are usually down in the dumps to start paying attention and taking action for change.

Free2be is back to making her 'novel'-length posts, Dan at The Political Scoop is keen on casting the DREAM Act as a civil rights issue, Lu001 has just launced A Little Piece of Paper to highlight the ridiculousness of how an arbitrary construct holds her back and Ille-gal plays on the 'illegal alien' term. This is just the beginning.

With this string of activism from DREAM Act students, the fight for DREAM is bound to be different in 2009. Ultimately, we have to wrestle back power and control over our lives -- we can't let immigration restrictionists define us, keep us imprisoned, condition our lives and place obstacles in our path. If they do, we must tear them apart.

Check back in a few days for a slew of new actions and new DREAM bloggers on the web, who will be instrumental in taking this movement forward.
