Students in Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) at WNMU organized a march on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, in response to recent national tensions surrounding immigration. Marchers held signs expressing concern about current policies and supporting immigrants’ rights.
Members of the student body, faculty, staff, and broader community took part in the march, making their way down College Avenue, along Bullard Street and concluding at Gough Park.
MEChA President Carlos Carranza said that the group organized the march to express solidarity with immigrants and their families. “We are the voices of those that do not have them,” he said. “It is important for MEChA to be the voice at WNMU for our people.”
Our President Fred Baca, Javier Marrufo, and Marivel Medel marched as well in solidarity.
