Students Walk Out Across the Country Against Attacks on DACA

| revcom.us

 

Friday, November 8—Hundreds of college and high school students walked out and joined with people of all ages against the Trump/Pence regime’s attempt to end DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). DACA is the federal program that since 2012 has given 800,000 “Dreamers”—undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children—temporary protection from deportation and allowed them to go to school and hold jobs. The end of DACA would mean these youths could be deported, separated from families and friends—or hunted down as “illegals” by ICE agents in the land they grew up in. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Tuesday, November 12, in a case about whether the regime can go ahead with eliminating DACA. Protest is being planned for that day.

Dozens of protesters have been walking from New York City to Washington, DC, under the banner “Home Is Here,” and stopped today in Philadelphia, where they were joined by many others. The march is also demanding a stop to the Trump/Pence regime’s attempt to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 300,000 people from El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, and other countries who had been allowed to stay in the U.S. because their home countries have been ravaged by natural disasters, war, and famine.

In DC, hundreds from many cities and states protested outside the Supreme Court. In Oklahoma City, hundreds of youths poured out of eight high schools and the University of Oklahoma and held a spirited march and rally. Hundreds more from California to Florida to Arizona walked out on the day of protest. They raised the chants “Home is here,” “Here to stay,” and “Undocumented, Unafraid.” More school walkouts and other protests are planned for next week.

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!

Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!

The Ongoing Need for Sustainers

During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.

So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.

Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.

You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
