HUNGER STRIKER HOSPITALIZED
Announcements about the strike to be made tonight at 8PM


RALEIGH—Loida, one of three women on a hunger strike until Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) co-sponsors the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors (DREAM) Act was hospitalized last night after suffering what appeared to be a heat stroke.


Several supporters were among her when she fell ill. Friends and family are with her at this time. While we cannot offer specifics to the press this morning, a full update will be given this evening at 8:00PM at the campsite, located at the intersection of Wilmington Street and Lane Street in downtown Raleigh.


The NC DREAM Team, the name of the hunger strikers and their immediate supporters, had previously scheduled a fellowship event open to the public at the campsite for 8:00PM. Some of this time will now be devoted to updating press and all concerned community members about Loida’s situation and everything that has happened with the hunger strike thus far. We will still be accepting visitors to the campsite.


Any major announcements about the strike will be made tonight.


Efforts to schedule a meeting with the senator have not been successful. Last week, Senator Hagan announced that she would not support the DREAM Act, but it is unclear if she opposes it simply as a stand-alone bill or even if it were included as part of a broader immigration reform measure
