After a coming out rally much like those that have happened all over the country, eight undocumented yoth delivered a petition to the president of Georgia State University. President Becker responded by shutting the admissions office door in their face.

They returned to the crowd chanting, yelling into a megaphone, and continued to lead the march through GSU. As one of the campuses which will close its doors to undocumented youth in the fall, nothing could be more important than such a visual showing of discontent. At what would be the end of the march, the eight young people took to the street among the crowd, blocked traffic and once again declared that they were “undocumented and unafraid.”

The police took them after an hour of blocking the street–they are now sitting in an Atlanta jail. Despite the reports that the area does not have an agreement with ICE the jail does work with ICE.

Sign the petition to tell the presidents of GSU and the four other public universities to refuse the ban.
