Mission: Education Not Deportation (“END”) is a national campaign to prevent the deportations of young people, thereby allowing immigrant youth to continue their lives in the United States, pursue higher education and achieve their dreams. The New York State Youth Leadership Council is taking this national campaign and implementing it at a local level. We are working to stop deportations in our own backyard.
Education Not Deportation (END) is a project of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance- an undocumented youth-LED network of grassroots organizations, campus-based student groups and individuals committed to achieving equality for all immigrant youth, regardless of their legal status. Our core values are to Empower, Educate and Escalate.
To date, member organizations of NIYA have been able to stop countless deportations of DREAM eligible youth.
We work closely with a network of immigration attorneys and advocates to help as many undocumented youth as we can. We do so in collaboration with the following organizations:
Educators for Fair Consideration – (E4FC)’s mission is to help immigrant students realize the American dream of college and citizenship. They provide direct support and advocacy for immigrant students who have grown up in the United States but face challenges due to financial need and immigration status.
Asian Law Caucus (ALC) – The mission of the Asian Law Caucus is to promote, advance, and represent the legal and civil rights of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities. Recognizing that social, economic, political and racial inequalities continue to exist in the United States, the Asian Law Caucus is committed to the pursuit of equality and justice for all sectors of our society with a specific focus directed toward addressing the needs of low-income and Asian and Pacific Islanders

This is so sad, because my boyfriend who is waiting to see what will happen to him next. he is also undocumented came here as a 11 year old child. there are so many people who share and have the same problem and why the president is not doing anything to help these young people who wants to make a better future of themsleves and America. All we want is to be educated and have a proper job. WE are not criminals!!

**I'm really glad that there are these organizations and groups that are actually trying to do something to make a change. I, myself was one of the detainees under Immigration custody and have been incarcerated for 15 months and i finally was able to get out on bail and the blessing of God. It was the most difficult time that all my family and loved ones had to face and i cant imagine what every single individual's family have been going through. We as the people definitely need to speak up and do whatever it takes to make a change and be heard and put a stop to this. All of this deportation proceeding is nothing but a major money making scheme. I have found out so much and got a behind the scene first hand experience during this whole process. I hope this country changes its ways in terms of the government system.
