3/9: Stand with New Mexico Immigrants Tonight at UNM Bookstore

StopsAZ From Raza Graduate Student Association (RGSA):
Join the RGSA and other student clubs, campus departments and community organizations for "Stand with New Mexico Immigrants," a candlelight vigil and demonstration on Wednesday, March 9, from 6:00-7:00 PM at the UNM Bookstore, 2301 Centra NE, in Albuquerque.

We will be protesting against the recent legislation passed by the NM House of Representatives repealing licenses for undocumented immigrants, and other proposed legislation impacting access and funding for undocumented/New Mexican/immigrant students in higher education. We will also be supporting pro-immigrant legislation being proposed by legislators and the ASUNM resolution being proposed by the Mexican Student Association (MexSA).

Thanks to El Centro de Igualdad y Derechos, El Centro de la Raza, ENLACE, KUNM Youth Radio, LULAC (UNM), Mexican Student Association, Native Health Initiative and Office for Equity and Inclusion for their support for the event!

Stand with immigrant families and communities in New Mexico and join us for the candlelight vigil! Contact razagsa@unm.edu with any questions!
