Hiatus over

Hello Underground Undergrads supporters!

Our publication team has been transitioning and it's been almost a month since we last posted.

During our hiatus, the California DREAM Act campaign has raged on, and this past Wednesday hundreds of students poured into Sacramento to express support for Senator Gil Cedillo's bill, SB1301: The California Dream Act. (Sidenote: the photo on Cedillo's website shows him standing to one of the Underground Undergrads featured in our book, Mario Escobar).

Meanwhile, today the Sacramento Bee opined once again in favor of a federal DREAM Act to, once and for all, end the policy nightmare that has affected these students. Here is the link.

We have been transitioning here at the UCLA Labor Center, and bid farewell to two former Underground Undergrads team members who are now moving on to graduate school: Tam Tran will be studying for a Ph.D. in American Civilization in Brown University and Susan Melgarejo is moving on to Master's in Education program at UCLA. Best of luck to both of them.

As we bid them farewell, we will be welcoming new bloggers, features, and topics in our blog. Stay tuned for the next phase of Underground Undergrads: The Journey. The past few months since the release of our student-led publication have been amazing and the amount of support we have received is truly humbling.

Here's to the next step!
