Undocumented Student Action Week
Oct 14, 2022
The California Community Colleges hosts an annual Undocumented Student Action Week
(USAW) every third week of October. This year鈥檚 theme is Juntos Podemos (Together, We Can): Collaborative Ecosystems that Support Undocumented
Students, which recognizes that we must be intentional about integrating undocumented student
success throughout our equity initiatives by breaking down silos, creating welcoming
campus environments, and advocating for policy solutions that allow undocumented students
to achieve economic mobility.
The Undocumented Student Taskforce is pleased to present a wide variety of programming
open to all. If you are unable to join us but would still like to help, please consider writing a letter on your own to encourage our elected officials to
push for amnesty and to continue to support DACA.
All of our RCC events will be hosted in-person in the Welcome Center.
