[Flavio Risech]

    /Are you an immigrant student with questions about how a Trump
    administration will affect you? If so, please come to:/

    *Information Session and Know Your Rights Workshop for Immigrant
    Students and Their Allies **w**ith Local Immigration Attorney Megan
    Kludt*

    Wednesday, November 30, 6:00 pm, UMass Amherst Integrative Learning
    Center, Room S331

    /Students and their friends, family members and allies from all
    local universities, colleges, community colleges, and high schools
    are welcome! /

    *Why this meeting: *As you may know, Trump posted a set of promises
    to his website in October about what he would do his first day
    through executive order.
    These include:
    — eliminating DACA status for “dreamers” — immigrants who entered as
    children
    — ending migration of Muslims and canceling visas
    — deporting 2 million “criminal aliens” — people with good visas or
    green cards who’ve been convicted of any crime, no matter how minor
    or how long ago.

    <http://www.npr.org/2016/11/09/501451368/here-is-what-donald-trump-wants-to-do-in-his-first-100-days>"

    This meeting for immigrant students and their allies is to help
    explain what rights immigrant students have and what steps we can
    take to help protect immigrants during a Trump administration.

    This workshop is free and open to the public, and we hope to provide
    Spanish translation. Young people of all ages are welcome. There
    will be coloring books and crayons for young children. The event
    venue is a short distance (approx 1 city block) from the UMass
    Campus Parking Garage (1 Campus Center Way, Amherst, MA
    <http://bit.ly/2fhyjiB>). Free parking vouchers will be provided at
    the event. The Integrative Learning Center is wheelchair accessible.
