Hello,

My name is Laura Longoria I am a student wanting to go to back to school, I am undocumented and unafraid. I want to thank all of you for all your support. With your support it gives me power to be unafraid.

I am a GED graduate. I am not able to go back to college to have a better future. One reason is because the tuition is to high. Another reason is because in Arizona there is not much support for undocumented students to go back to school.

I do know that I can share my story and get involved with my community to show support for me and everyone else in the community.

I invite you as an educator to join me and thousands of undocumented students and unafraid educators across the nation to show your support for undocumented students like myself by taking a pledge and a picture that states your support for us.

We need your voice and action in order to continue our work towards educational equity.
