In a historic vote, the East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD) Board of Trustees voted unanimously in February to support immigration reform and to join the national campaign for reform, Reform Immigration For America. Due to the leadership of the Seven Trees Leadership Committee and SIREN, the ESUHSD became the first high school district in the country to join the national campaign. Similarly, in 2009 the San Jose/Evergreen College District became the first community college district in the nation to join the national campaign.

On March 21st, thousands of people from all across America will march on Washington, DC to demand immigration reform and economic justice for all Americans. We will come together as one voice on the National Mall for a strong America – for families, for workers, for businesses, and for security. We can do nothing, and watch as our families and communities continue to be torn apart by the broken immigration system. Or we can stand up for our families and our communities and demand Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform this year. 
Immigrants make up two-thirds of the population of Santa Clara County when you include their children. Every year immigrants in Santa Clara County, California and the nation demonstrate their growing political power. As part of Mobilize the Immigrant Vote in California and as a Census Partner, SIREN wants to know the opinion of immigrants including key federal questions about the census and immigration reform and key state issues including governance, revenues, budget, and “wedge” issues that repeatedly appear on state ballots. Through this survey we will be able to better understand immigrants from different countries and immigrants from within a single country based on their age, gender, family income, years of education, length of time in the US, frequency of voting, etc.
