On Thursday, November 13th, the ACLU of Alaska will host a virtual Immigration Bystander Training from 5:30-6:30 PM on Zoom. During this session, individuals will learn how to safely intervene and provide assistance to community members and fellow Alaskans interacting with federal immigration officials.
Training attendees will learn their rights as a third party interacting with ICE, how to best support a person being taken into custody, and the importance of creating a Family Safety Plan. This event is free and open to the public, and attendee participation will remain anonymous. Pre-register here.
It is imperative to know our rights and responsibilities as non-citizen Alaskans are targeted by the Trump Administration's deportation regime. Learn more about how federal immigration orders are impacting Alaskans here.
We hope you join us for this educational opportunity.
