Safer Spaces Under Threat? Know Your Rights.

The event is November 6th 1-2:30 pm EDT

Under the current federal administration, some protections from immigration enforcement for sensitive locations like schools, hospitals, and religious institutions have been revoked. This puts people at risk.

Yet, we are not powerless. We can act more effectively with knowledge and practice.

Join this workshop to learn how you can protect yourself and others in what are called limited access spaces, such as in-session classrooms and offices. Let’s learn more about how to act together to protect our rights.
