SUCCESSFUL DEMOSTRATION !!!

We had a great turn-out today!!!

First of all, THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF HB 1403 STUDENTS AND THE FIGHT FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS.

I was really excited to see a very diverse group debating with the anti-immigrant "author." Also, Mr. Winginton wasted his time and money in coming to UH. The UH community is so diverse and liberal and most importantly open-minded. UH students do not support racist actions and especially denying an education to all students no matter what their legal status might be.

I was especially glad to see people take initiatives on behalf of the organization.

Everyone check out Univision 45 tonight for a story on the demostration.

We will be posting pictures soon, so keep posted!!!

Thanks to all who helped with the Petitions we collected 257.
