Understanding Your Rights and Protecting Your Community Under the New Administration

Zoom Webinar
Duration: 90 minutes Cost: Free
Program Description:
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.
