Feb 5 - Education, not Deportation: ICE out of San Diego!

For months now, labor and community groups have been showing up every Thursday at the Federal Courthouse in San Diego to protest the harm caused by ongoing Federal immigration enforcement in San Diego, as ICE agents stalk our school parking lots and detain families showing up for immigration appointments. On February 5, SDEA and other community partners in the Education Justice Coalition of San Diego are taking lead at the weekly protest, to highlight how students, educators, and school communities are impacted, and how educators and school leaders can respond.

Join us:
