Beginning... ● Brainstormed a demand we would want to create a change in. ● We decided to have a topic of immigration but try to create a change to Trump’s “Zero Tolerance Policy” ● Contacted California Immigrant Policy Center Issue/Topic
● Our Issue that we wanted to create change in is
immigration, specifically Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy.
● Trump’s Zero Tolerance policy says that any person who
crosses the border illegally is immediately considered a criminal. Facts & Background ● Immigrants who cross the border illegally face civil penalties for illegal presence in the United States, and they face criminal penalties for having entered the country illegally (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/R45266.pdf) ● Families and children are separated at the border and if not they are eventually separated Purpose
● To bring light to this topic that many people may not know about
● Make change within our community, state, and possibly even nation
● Give knowledge to the new generation living in this new world
