Dear friend,

As students make their way back to school this fall, we are paying close
attention to the mounting challenges in our education system that are making it
more difficult for students to receive a quality, safe, and inclusive education.

Immigrant students, including unaccompanied children and students in migrant
families, often face additional barriers to receiving an education. For example, children or their parents may
be asked for a Social Security Number, birth certificate, or documents that some
students or families may not have.

In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe that all children, regardless of immigration status, should have access to a
K-12 public education. Despite this, students still encounter discrimination based on their immigration status or national origin.

NILC is working with the U.S. Department of Education, educators, advocates, and
allies to remove educational barriers and to create an inclusive learning
environment for all students. Together, we are calling on public schools to
ensure every student in the United States has the opportunity to receive a
quality education.

Friend, your support is critical to our work. Stand
alongside us by adding your name to our resounding call for equal education for
ALL students.
