      Dear Pomona College Community,

      On December 2, 2011, Pomona College fired Carmen, her mother Felipa, and her brother-in-law Rogelio after an investigation into their work authorization documents. Now, Carmen and the Pomona community are speaking out in a new video. Watch it here.

      Pomona is a college, not a greedy corporation. This was not an ICE raid. A federal agency did not prompt this investigation. The firings come in the midst of workers' efforts to form a union – an effort Pomona College has opposed.

      Help us spread the word about Pomona's attack on immigrant workers by sharing the video with your friends on Facebook and Twitter!

      By spreading this video, we'll put Pomona College's despicable behavior in the national spotlight, and persuade the College to rethink the disrespectful way it treats workers.

      Our struggle for justice at Pomona was also featured in the New York Times last week. Check out coverage here.
