Thousands of San Jose students from the Alum Rock Unified School District are demanding safer schools and communities and they’ve now taken those demands directly to Congress.
The original plan was just to take an educational trip to the Capitol, But the group of more than 30 eight graders ended up becoming the carriers of their community's voice.
“After what happened in Texas, We are afraid." That was the message a group of eight grade students from San Jose gave Senator Alex Padilla and Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren after handing them 3,000 letters from local students who want change immediately. NBC Bay Area caught up with some of the student writers last week, all of them from the alum rock unified school district.
