CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Police target undocumented youth

On Sept. 6, the North Carolina Dream Team, an immigrants rights group led
by undocumented youth, held a rally and march on the campus of Central Piedmont
Community College in Charlotte, N.C., of more than 200 people.
The “Undocumented, Unafraid” action targeted the withholding of
access to education for undocumented students and the Secure Communities
program, and was timed to coincide with a pep rally being held by the
Democratic National Committee, which will hold its convention in Charlotte next
September.
The demonstration took over a major intersection in the downtown area, and 15
people, including 10 undocumented youth, were arrested. Workers World will
carry more coverage on this important action in the next edition.
