DEFEND & RECRUIT: ICE COMMUNITY DEFENSE
Partner Resource
With partners at Siembra NC, Training For Change trainers Nikki Marín Baena and Andrew Willis Garcés helped launch resources for defending immigrant communities from deportation and ICE raids, with opportunities for Latine and non-Latine folks to plug in.
"There's a lot we can do to make sure that families in our communities aren't detained by ICE, and to expose many more people to the reality that MAGA only cares about billionaires -- not the workplaces and schools that will be in crisis after every detention.
Download our community defense playbook and sign up for a training."
