The staff at Dream.Org are getting ready for summer. While we are finalizing vacation plans and sharing travel tips, we are also moving our campaigns forward. In other words, balance. Our Justice team’s summer includes making headway on our legislation to end unfair & racist drug sentencing laws. Our Green For All team is busy directing resources to communities on the frontlines of climate change. And our Tech program is shifting the culture of the tech sector by opening new pathways into the field. Building the future we are dreaming of needs us at our best. So take some time to recharge this summer. Then join us! Read below to see how you can help.

Onward,
Nisha Anand

Crack and powder cocaine are the same drug, but their accompanying punishments differ drastically. On the one hand, possession of crack could land you in prison for years, while possessing the same amount of powder cocaine will result in a significantly lower sentence.  This is the unjust reality that has disproportionately impacted Black communities that the EQUAL Act is aiming to rectify. We need your help to finish the fight to pass the EQUAL Act that we started last year. Please sign our petition to urge Congress to pass the EQUAL Act and make sentencing equal, as it should be.

Mayday! Members of Congress are playing with fire by using funds meant to save the planet as a bargaining chip in the debt ceiling negotiations, putting our pocketbooks and our planet on the line. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) is in particular danger of being slashed. GGRF is worth a whopping  $20 billion in climate investments but could be leveraged into more than $250 billion over the next 10 years by using public funds to spur private investment. But all that climate change fighting cash could go away if some in Congress have their way. Tell Congress to continue to fund the climate fight. Click the button below to learn more and take action.
