We must embrace our University's legacy for activism and demand immigration reform from Congress by making our voices heard by joining in the national march towards immigration reform.
Learn about the importance of political participation & how technology and social media can amplify your impact on Congress.
WHY IT MATTERS:
11 Million People are Undocumented in the U.S.
1.5 Million Students would qualify for the Dream Act
2 Million People have been deported Under the Obama Administration
