Cascade High School students walk out to speak up [View all]

EVERETT — Chanting “Immigrants are welcome here! No hate! No fear!” a group of students from Cascade High School stood with signs in hand Friday afternoon along Evergreen Way near Bruin Boulevard, just north of the school.

One student kept the beat with a drum while another led the chants using a megaphone, and they all cheered, drawing honks of support from drivers passing by.

“We’re all students from Cascade High School, and we skipped last period to walk out of our school,” said Brienne Quiroz, one of the young students lining Evergreen Way. “On the last day of school, we chose to go to the walkout that we organized.”



Sophomore Sohna Manneh and freshman Shane Martinez were among those who organized the protest of recent actions by President Donald Trump and his administration – specifically mass deportations.
