Chico State’s Chicanx advocacy club met for the first time this semester with hopes of strengthening its relationship with other chapters as the Trump administration continues to focus on deporting more immigrants. “Because of the ongoing political and social issues around the US, we would like to get more involved statewide,” said Miriam Jimenez, MEChA President. “I know a couple of the different, bigger chapters are hosting peaceful protests, or they’re having documentary showings.”At Chico State, Jimenez wants to support organizing on-campus trainings that provide information on immigrant rights. MEChA is in charge of the Día de los Muertos celebration at Chico State. Chico State has been a Hispanic-serving institution since 2014, with nearly 40% of the student body identifying as either Hispanic or Latinx.
