Rally

It's been a long time. The G.E.O. strike ended successfully, and although I don't think members are completely satisfied with the terms in the renewed contract, its a start. They seem to have "won" this battle, but they have yet to win the war (we all do).

So today, in a couple of hours, there is going to be a rally hosted by La Colectiva focusing on spreading the word about immigration reform. We've all heard about Rigo's situation and have watched Stephanie's video, and we all know that a large percentage of undocumented students in the United States are from Mexico; however, I (and I think a lot of other people) had no idea that at least 20,000 undocumented Korean students also live in the U.S. today. Mexico borders the U.S., so its not that big of surprise that many people migrate from there; but Korea? That's like 10,000 miles away. Watching Ju's video (an undocumented Korean student in California) made me realize that the immigration laws of the U.S. negatively affects not only undocumented Latino students, but students from across oceans, continents, and borders. So come to the rally to learn more about what you can do to help.

Good luck to everyone preparing for the rally, and I hope everyone dominates their finals.
