Oberlin Coalition for Im/migrant Rights
The Oberlin Coalition for Im/migrant Rights (OCIR) is a newly founded student and community coalition committed to working in solidarity with the millions of protesters across the nation demanding justice for documented and undocumented im/migrants. We oppose racist and xenophobic legislation, such as the recent HR4437, which criminalizes im/migrants and their allies, and denies them of their basic civil, labor, and human rights. We join with activists in this growing national movement in calling on the U.S. Senate to pass just im/migration reform that includes a pathway to legalization, family reunification, and stronger labor protections for all workers regardless of legal status.

In May of 2006, OCIR held a faculty panel (Pam Brooks/African American Studies, Pablo Mitchell/History and Comparative American Studies, and Ari Sammartino/History) on immigration as well as a highly successful student walk out and rally to raise awareness and educate around im/migrant rights.
