Webinar: Community Defender Training: Understanding Your Rights and Protecting Your Community – Jan 29

Posted by National Immigration Project on January 28, 2025

Join the National Immigration Project for a free webinar for community defenders, advocates, and impacted community members to go over the basics of what you can do to protect yourself and your community in the face of potential immigration enforcement. We’ll go over what immigration policies have changed in the first week of the Trump administration; a primer on your Fourth Amendment rights; and ways for families to prepare in case of an arrest by immigration officials. Our 1.5-hour program is meant to address your most burning questions and to remind you of the protections you already have. As policies change, we will continue to provide community defenders with the information and trainings they need to fight back and to keep their people ready to face whatever comes.

We will have simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and Haitian Creole during this webinar and we will consider requests for interpretation in other languages as we receive them.

Who should attend this program?

This webinar is intended for organizers, impacted community members, and other community defenders who are not lawyers.

Date and Time: Wednesday, January 29, 2025, 5:00-6:30 PM
