This document summarizes a CAP presentation about lobbying against Trump's Zero Tolerance immigration policy. The group's goals were to raise awareness about the policy, which separates immigrant families at the border, and advocate for change at the state and national level. They contacted the California Immigrant Policy Center, created informational shirts, held a press conference at a detention center, and lobbied state legislators in Sacramento to enable peers to join the effort.

Beginning... ● Brainstormed a demand we would want to create a change in. ● We decided to have a topic of immigration but try to create a change to Trump’s “Zero Tolerance Policy” ● Contacted California Immigrant Policy Center Issue/Topic
● Our Issue that we wanted to create change in is
immigration, specifically Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy.
● Trump’s Zero Tolerance policy says that any person who
crosses the border illegally is immediately considered a criminal. Facts & Background ● Immigrants who cross the border illegally face civil penalties for illegal presence in the United States, and they face criminal penalties for having entered the country illegally (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/R45266.pdf) ● Families and children are separated at the border and if not they are eventually separated Purpose
● To bring light to this topic that many people may not know about
● Make change within our community, state, and possibly even nation
● Give knowledge to the new generation living in this new world
