Lecture today on country’s ‘young + undocumented’

By hola | Published February 21, 2013 | No Comments

Today at the Woodrow Wilson Center, four undocumented undergraduates from Hoyas for Immigrant Rights, a student advocacy organization at Georgetown University, will share their personal stories about being “young and undocumented” in the United States.

From the announcement:

Young and Undocumented: The New American Story” centers on the challenges—including limited access to education, healthcare, and financial opportunities—that immigrant college students face. As the White House and Congress take up the debate over immigration reform with new vigor and urgency, the personal stories of these young people from Mexico and Kenya serve as an important reminder of what is at stake in this debate.

The event runs from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and you must RSVP if you want to attend. But you don’t even have to venture into the February chill to tune in; the event will be webcast live on the Wilson Center’s website.
