From left to right: League of Women Voters President, Gerri McNenny, founder and director of Camino Immigration Services, Bethany Anderson, Professor of Sociology and American Studies and Ethnicity and Associate Director of USC Equity Research Institute, Jody Vallejo, and Adjunct professor, educator, and speaker on human trafficking, gender and child rights, Fullerton School District Trustee, Ruthi Hanchett.

The League of Women Voters North Orange County invited Bethany Anderson and Jody Vallejo, PhD. to speak about Immigration, civil rights, and community action on September 27, 2025. Both speakers were introduced by Fullerton Joint Union High School District Trustee Joanne Fawley. Fullerton School District Trustee Ruthi Hanchett was also asked to speak impromptu. The following videos were not edited in anyway per League of Women Voters NOC bylaws. The separation of videos is due to the camera shutting off and having to be manually turned back on (30 seconds).

Trustee Hanchett wishes to make the correction to her remarks, to clarify that while FSD does not hire undocumented employees, they do legally employ staff who are not US citizens but have legal permission to work. Additionally many staff, like FSD students, have family and household members who are undocumented and impacted by immigration changes.
