Some of the valley’s high school students rallied for the DREAM Act in Glenwood Springs tonight. Members of Congress have suggested they will bring up the legislation during this lame duck session.
A number of the students spent the day at their high schools handing out flyers, holding assemblies and trying to get other students to come show their support. The last rally, which happened in Carbondale about a month ago, had far less turnout. Organizers were pleased with the results today. Alex Alvarado, president of the student body at Roaring Fork High School, shared his story about how he came to Carbondale with his family as a child.
Listen to Alex Alvarado's story in its entirety here.
