Students4Change Mobilizes RWU Students for Providence Anti-I.C.E Protest
Providence, Rhode Island – As the streets of Providence filled with thousands of people joining in the nationwide protest against I.C.E on Friday, January 30th, youth activists Anya Arroyo and Audrey Dolahan, along with other RWU students were among them.
“At Roger, many of them (students) feel like they don’t have a voice or they’re not listened to. So it kind of is giving youth activists on campus a space to be able to communicate that and organize around that”
“The whole purpose of doing a nationwide protest isn’t convenience. It was to spread the message and to really try to have as many people go to the mass protests in various states as possible.”
“Someone came by with a megaphone and was like ‘make way for the youth’ and it was a sea of high schoolers and middle schoolers…It’s very interesting to see these young people care about that.”
