On Tuesday, Jan. 21, hundreds of students in Carmel, Indiana, organized a school-wide walkout to protest federal immigration enforcement by the Trump administration. The walkout was part of a nationwide protest known as the Free America Walkout, which involved citizens in multiple states. Similar walkouts in other cities have taken place as students across the U.S. speak out about political and social issues.
This walkout shows how students are using protests to make changes and be heard on issues they care about, including immigration and civil rights. It shows how students can collectively use their voices for change.
