1.- VACOLAO’s 2014 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA DEBRIEFING
We all celebrated a huge win last week when Virginia’s Attorney General Mark Herring announced on Tuesday that DACA holders were eligible under Virginia law to apply for in-state tuition to study at Virginia’s excellent public colleges and universities. VACOLAO thanks everyone for all their hard work in helping to make this week’s victory possible that will help thousands of Virginia students continue with their education. We will be discussing this victory as well as other parts of VACOLAO’s 2014 legislative agenda at our upcoming 2014 Legislative Agenda Debriefing that will take place a week from today on May 9th. The Debriefing will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30a.m. Registration begins at 8:30a.m. and we will provide a light breakfast. Please see the below invitation below for more details about this event. I look forward to continue working with you in defense of the rights of immigrant communities in Virginia!
