Supporting Immigrant Families and Students

Let’s work together to create immigration policies that are humane, functional, and just.

When I first started teaching, we had fire drills and tornado drills. Then we started to have to develop safety drills in case of an active shooter in the school or neighborhood. Now, we have to develop safety protocols in case our own government shows up to hurt or kidnap our students? I never dreamed I would have to do something like this.
