Written on:

Knowing Our Rights – A Workshop with New Sanctuary Movement

Wednesday, July 9 | 7:00 PM ET on Zoom

Join us for a workshop on how to support the immigrant justice movement with the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia. NSM will share updates on what’s happening on the ground and how to stand in solidarity with immigrant communities right now—through Accompaniment, ICE Watch, campaigns, and direct actions. We’ll then take a deep dive into how to prepare our Meetings in case ICE ever comes to them.
Together, we’ll explore how ICE has begun encroaching on places of worship across the country, how to prepare your spaces and teams, and how to respond to fear and confront an agent if necessary.
