HEFAS

We were made aware this afternoon of a post circulating online targeting undocumented students at De Anza College. We want to assure our community that we take this matter extremely seriously and are actively monitoring the situation alongside the College President, Dean, and Office of Communications.

Your safety and well-being are our #1 priority. We remain fully committed to welcoming and protecting our undocumented students.

Support Resources:
• On-Campus Presence: The Santa Clara Rapid Response Network will be on campus tomorrow (1/8) to monitor the area.
• Healing Circle: Join us this Friday at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom for a community healing circle. For Zoom details, please reach out to Shaila at [email protected].

Please do not hesitate to reach out to our office if you have any questions or need support. We are here for you. 🦋
