Maryland Catholic Conference: Support Fairness for Maryland Kids



AN APPEAL FROM THE MARYLAND CATHOLIC CONFERENCE


Support Fairness for Maryland Kids 

Ask Your Parish
to 
Support the DREAM Act


Issue: On Election Day in November, Marylanders will vote on the Maryland DREAM Act -- a law that allows immigrant students to pay the same in-state tuition rate as other Maryland residents if they meet certain requirements. 

The Maryland Catholic Conference supports the law and recognizes that the issue of educating kids in Maryland whose families pay Maryland taxes is a matter of simple fairness. 

The Conference needs your help in gathering support for the DREAM Act. 

If you are interested in information on the DREAM Act, click here.
Action: We are seeking invitations to come and speak at your local parishes and communities to explain what the DREAM Act does, why the Church supports it, and why it is good public policy for Maryland.

Meetings and events could include:

  • Social Concerns committees
  • Knights of Columbus
  • Catholic Daughters of America
  • Brief remarks after Mass with time afterwards for questions
  • Other organizations you participate in!

To set up a speaking event, or for more information, please contact Chris Ross at 410-269-1155, or 301-261-1979, or cmross@mdcathcon.org.
