We’ll be marching to the ICE field office in downtown LA on Saturday to demand the return of our students’ visas at 3pm, following the AOC/Bernie rally. I’ll be tabling at the rally, in case you want to say hi. All extremely welcome, including students and member of the public.

On Saturday, April 12 at 3pm, we are holding a march to the ICE Field Office in downtown LA. The meeting point for the march is the corner of Broadway and Temple downtown, not far from Gloria Molina Grand Park. The AOC/Bernie rally at Gloria Molina Grand Park will be
concluding around that time, so our idea is to make it convenient for people who had already planned to attend the AOC/Bernie rally, and also get some folks at that rally to join us.
We are inviting folks from many different universities in southern California to attend this march. If you have colleagues or friends at USC, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Cal State LA, Occidental College, Caltech, Loyola Marymount, etc., or any other college in the area, please forward them our flyer or this email and invite them.

Screen shot, which reads, As required by the Administration’s Executive Orders, NEH awards may not be used for the following purposes: promotion of gender ideology;
promotion of discriminatory equity ideology;
support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) or diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives or activities; or

The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
