Standing Together: California’s Protections for Undocumented and Immigrant Students

Share:

One out of five (20%) children in California live in mixed-status families, meaning they are undocumented themselves or living with a family member who is undocumented. 

Our latest equity alert Standing Together: California’s Protections for Undocumented and Immigrant Students highlights immediate actions that state, local, and education leaders can take to ensure that immigrant and undocumented children, students, and their families are safe and supported to attend school, learn, and thrive, including: 

  • Current laws that protect undocumented and mixed-status families  
  • Recommendations on what more can be done at the state level
  • Resources for school district and higher education leaders 

We thank the following partners for their contributions to this equity alert:
