Defend DACA

AFT 2121 stands in solidarity with our students and all immigrants facing an uncertain future under the outrageous and cruel actions of the Trump administration. The rollback of protections for DACA recipients not only hurts our young people dealing with arbitrary rules, but also affects the vitality of public institutions like City Colllege. Having spent their formative years in the U.S., DACA students have made countless contributions–as all immigrants have–to our society. More than ever, we need to stand up for the values that affirm our humanity.

As educators, we understand our students’ struggles and how important it is for DACA students to continue their education. Here is how we can stand with–and stand up for–DACA students and others at risk of deportation in the days and months ahead.

We can help students understand what resources and support is available.

• At City College of San Francisco, Voices of Immigrants Demonstrating Achievement (VIDA) is an important resource for information, advocacy and support. They are having an open house on September 14th from 11:00AM-2:00Pm in the Student Union Building room 104A.
• We can also share information from legal advocacy groups about the rights of DACA recipients and what the future may hold.
• Learn more what can be done for DACA recipients in a webinar Sept. 7th hosted by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
• The San Francisco Immigrant Legal & Education Network (SFILEN) has launched a new hotline to report ICE activity in SF: Call (415) 200–1548. They have language support in Spanish, Arabic and Chinese and can support with legal and community defense. Learn more at sfilen.org
