Undocumented young people risked everything decades ago to 'come out of the shadows” and push loudly and proudly for their right to stay in this country. That movement is the reason in large part that DACA exists. Yet there is still no path to citizenship for most undocumented immigrants and DACA has not accepted new applications since 2017, locking out most current high school and college-age students. As the new Trump administration threatens immigrants, how will schools and students be impacted? What can we learn from the history of undocumented activism? Speakers: Vanesa Cruz Granados, Blanca Hernandez, Zaidee Stavely
