    From the Shadows to Advocacy in Action:
    A Case Study on Creating Student-Informed Policy with Undocumented Students

    This conversation explores how the California Undocumented Higher Education Coalition engages student advocates in the creation of student-informed policy. We will be sharing our learnings from our Student Policy Initiative and the roots of AB 1393 (Calderon, 2023), a policy that addresses food insecurity among undocumented students. Ultimately, belonging and inclusion can also mean that we work with students to co-create the policies that impact them on a daily basis.
