Papers: The Story of Undocumented Youth”

"Papers" is the story of undocumented youth and the challenges they face as they turn 18 without legal status. 65,000 undocumented students graduate every year from high school without “papers. ” These are young people born outside of the United States who were educated in American schools, hold American values, know only the U.S. as home and who, upon high school graduation, find the door to their future slammed shut. It is agains-t the law to work or drive. It is difficult, if not impossible in some states, to attend college. They live at risk of arrest, detention and deportation to countries they may not even remember. Currently, there is no path to citizenship for these young people. Community organizations around the country, including here in Champaign-Urbana, are working to change immigration policy on behalf of these young people.

 

Members and friends of Unitarian-Universalism are frequently in the forefront of movements promoting peace and social justice, human rights, and the preservation of the earth's environment.
All social justice events are free and open to the public.

 

Gasland March 7 – 7:30 p.m.
"The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND.

All social justice events are free and open to the public.
