Below are resources from our recent webinar: Protecting Our Families: A Rights & Preparedness Webinar, which was conducted entirely in Spanish and covered important topics of preparing a plan in case of possible detainment/deportation of a caregiver as well as basic rights in interactions with immigration enforcement. This webinar aimed to equip immigrant families with minors with essential knowledge of their legal rights and preparedness strategies.
These resources are designed to be a valuable tool for Spanish-speaking community members, particularly families who may benefit from this critical information.
