LOZA FAMILY FUNDRAISER 4/28/12

Submitted to Shelton Blog by Miles Nowlin Mason County Progressive

Edwin Loza

FIRST GRADUATION THEN DEPORTATION

Edwin Loza was an exemplary student who was deported to Guatemala the day after he graduated from CHOICE High school in Shelton, WA
on 2/4/10. Edwin’s mother, Claudia, was deported the same year after 8 months in detention. Neither Edwin nor Claudia had ever committed a crime. Edwin has since been legally adopted by his stepfather and has been approved to apply for residency. He is eager to return home, see his family reunited, and attend college in the United States.


MISSION:
  • To support the reuniting of the Loza family by raising $4500 for visa and travel costs by May 1st, 2012.
  • To continue raising awareness about the injustices of the U.S. immigration system.
  • To pressure legislators to act now on comprehensive immigration reform.
