Support #UndocuBruins !

About our Campaign:

 

The Campaign at a glance...

We are launching this campaign because we stand in solidarity with the UCLA #UndocuBruins Community, especially during this current political environment against them. We recognize undocumented students do not qualify for federal financial assistance and some may be ineligible to find employment. Through this campaign, we hope to alleviate some of their fiscal burdens. 

Our project has opened just months after the decision from the White House to eliminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. As a result of DACA’s termination, many #UndocuBruins have expressed their distress over their futures; including their ability to continue or pursue higher education.

Our DREAM...

This fundraising-campaign is will raise money in support of the #UndocuBruins Community at UCLA. It’s our goal in establishing this program to financially assist our fellow #UndocuBruins in obtaining a quality UCLA education, regardless of economic situation. We want to foster a supportive environment for their scholastic development, but we need YOUR help!

As UC President Napolitano said "This backward-thinking, far-reaching move threatens to separate families and derail the futures of some this country's brightest young minds, thousands of whom currently attend or have graduated from the University of California" and we commend her support of our #UndocuBruins!

This project is about community empowerment and demonstrating the academic commitment and excellence of our peers, regardless of the immigration status.

We're taking action on this cause like many other campus leaders, including UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, who said UCLA “...will continue to provide you [undocumented students] and student groups with information and campus support services, including legal and counseling services, in the days and months ahead.” We join this campus-movement to raise support and awareness for #UndocuBruins
