Student Week of Action
Join Us for Undocumented Student Week of Action
I invite you to join the Campaign for College Opportunity, along
with students, educators, and organizations across the state as
we take part in the California Community College’s Undocumented
Student Week of Action from October 15th through 19th.
Throughout the week, California Community College campuses,
students, educators, and partner organizations will meet with
local representatives, sign petitions and postcards in support of
DACA, and host daily webinars and conversations on how to best
serve undocumented students.
I am excited to share that the Campaign is participating
in this week of action in three key ways:
• NEW WEB PAGE: Our California Undocumented
Higher Education Coalition has launched a new web page! Students,
educators, and allies can use the page to access resources and
information on undocumented student services at California’s
public colleges and universities.
• CAPITOL BRIEFING: On October 18th, our
Coalition will host a Capitol Briefing with legislative staff to
discuss challenges in access, affordability, and support for
undocumented students and how we can best support the unique
needs of these students.
• AFFORDABILITY BRIEF: We are releasing “Higher
Education Affordability for Undocumented Students in California,”
a new brief that explores the unique financial challenges the
75,000 undocumented public college and university students face
and how we can alleviate their financial burdens. The brief will
go live on our site this Thursday.
Please join us this week in support of college opportunity for
our California undocumented students.
Sincerely,
Michele Siqueiros
President
