NATIONAL WEEK OF STUDENT ACTION

On campuses nationwide, AIUSA student groups organize and take action for human rights. During National Week of Student Action, groups will come together in creative, public and impactful actions focused on AIUSA’s priority campaign to Free People from ICE Detention.

National Week of Student Action is an opportunity to make an impact on a critical human rights issue. When we take action together, our voices are amplified! You will plan actions with a focus on influencing members of Congress to reduce Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s budget for locking up and jailing people in immigration detention — to essentially Defund Hate. To do this, we’ll amplify the power of our voices by meeting with our Members of Congress, making phone calls, writing postcards, making social media posts, publishing op-eds in student and local papers, and raising visibility of this issue in your schools and community. Your group could plan a week of action with different actions planned each day, or one big public event that week. NWSA is a way to educate your community about the issue in a creative way, and inspire people to join you in taking action.
