In this session hosted by the MDI Red Cards, information will be provided about the constitutional rights held by all people in the USA regardless of their documented status. Facilitators will also educate participants on the current happenings around immigration on the federal level, as well as in our community, and how they can help. Conversation will focus on the spectrum of allyship, from reporting an ICE sighting, recording/documenting an ICE encounter, and using one’s voice as a bystander and upstander when illegal searches and seizures occur, as well as illegal abductions/detainments. 

Practice in embodying standing up for our rights, and protection of individuals having their rights infringed, is important to do. It may seem silly, but in the moment we can freeze or forget, so the more we can be educated and practice speaking up, the more effective an ally we can be!

Other resources and information will be provided; we hope this is an opportunity for your questions to be answered and for you to connect and help organize with fellow community members.
