When we take action together, our voices are amplified!
During National Week of Student Action (NWSA), AIUSA student groups organize and take action for human rights in creative, impactful ways, all focused on the same topic.
This year, we are coming together to stop the Trump administration from unleashing state violence and allowing ICE and Border Patrol to abuse their power.
The U.S. federal government is behaving as if the law no longer applies to it. These are authoritarian abuses — using fear, misinformation, and state power to violate human rights without accountability. They’re counting on people feeling scared, unprepared, or overwhelmed.

Be Visible. Educate. Take Action!
No matter where you are, no matter the size of your group or the politics in your community, National Week of Student Action is an opportunity to make your voice heard and demand, “Not another penny should go to ICE!” The federal government must respect the human rights of immigrants, people seeking safety and all people.
Every group will plan activities and events that help us be visible, educate, and take action. When we do these three things, we counter the dehumanization of immigrants, refugees, and others seeking safety, provide accurate information in a time of disinformation and untruths, and demand all human rights be protected—for everyone.
Your group could plan a week of action with different actions planned each day, a few smaller educational events, or one big public action that week. We’ll help you with ideas, and you’ll translate them into what works on your campus!
