Greetings!

This is La Colectiva's first entry and before we start posting, we would like to tell you a little bit about ourselves. La Colectiva is a non-profit student-run organization at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana that was founded on the basis of addressing the various issues that undocumented students faced on campus. More recently, we have expanded into an organization that exists to address the challenges faced by the immigrant community within Champaign-Urbana while advocating for social justice, change on behalf of all immigrants, and serving the community by fostering leadership and providing resources through grassroots initiatives. Our activities have included tax workshops, college informational workshops, volunteer work at middle and high schools, working on the passage of the D.R.E.A.M. Act, and forums in which we inform and educate the community and the campus alike on any issues related to the immigrant community.
Thank you,
La Colectiva
