SAC HOLDS RALLY IN SUPPORT OF IMMIGRANTS

San Antonio College held a rally to show "SAC Stands with our Student Immigrants" on October 22. It was part of the 4th Annual "I Stand with Immigrants" College and University Day of Action. More than 150 campuses across the country joined to support students. The event was dedicated to empower immigrants and share their stories.

Since June of 2014, Immigrant Heritage Month has given people across the United States an opportunity to annually explore their own heritage and celebrate the shared diversity that forms the unique story of America.

The I Stand with Immigrants Initiative is powered by FWD.us. As part of this initiative, the I Am an Immigrant campaign encourages all Americans to celebrate the monumental contributions that immigrants have made — and continue to make — every day. Together, the three campaigns allow immigrants and their allies to share stories demonstrating how immigration benefits our communities, economy, and country. These initiatives provide new avenues for individuals, companies, organizations, and public leaders —– to take action in support of their immigrant employees, colleagues, constituents, neighbors, and friends — not just during Immigrant Heritage Month, but every day of the year.
