National Week of Student Action

During National Week of Student Action (NWSA), AIUSA student groups organized and took action for human rights in creative, impactful actions all focused on the same topic. This year, we came together to dismantle President Trump’s mass deportation machine.

The United States can respect human rights, treat all people with dignity, and have an immigration system that works for all of us.

President Trump’s plans for mass deportations and cruelty at the border will be catastrophic for those seeking safety and communities across the United States. We cannot allow the continued weaponization of people’s fears about physical and economic security to justify abusive policies and harm to immigrants and people seeking safety at the border and in cities and towns across the U.S.  

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 President Trump respect the human rights of immigrants and people seeking safety.

Every group planned activities and events to 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.
