Immigration resources

[Nicholas Leete]

Hello Madison area garden organizers and gardeners, 

Given the large number of immigrants who use community gardens, we wanted to share some potentially useful information with you all about immigration and people's rights:  

Centro Hispano has a list of resources on their website, they also said to keep an eye on their website and social media for local updates. 

Thanks to the Marlborough Park Community garden team for compiling the below information!  

IMMIGRANT RIGHTS INFORMATION

ALL people living in the United States have rights, whether citizens or not.  With this letter we have provided information from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) about these rights and a red card for your wallet from the Immigration Legal Resource Center (ILRC).  Please share with others as needed. Garden committee could furnish a letter of recommendation for anyone who has gardened here for two years.

For more help, attend a Know Your Rights workshop that will be presented by Voces de la Frontera at the Boys and Girls Club, 4705 Jenewein Rd, on Friday, February 14, 5:00-7 pm.  A free meal will be served as part of the workshop.  Presentations will be in Spanish with translation to English.

View these websites for more detailed information.  In Spanish: https://iamerica.org/es/know-your-rights/ , https://immigrantjustice.org/es/conozca-sus-derechos/encuentro-con-ice .  In English:  https://iamerica.org/know-your-rights/ , https://immigrantjustice.org/know-your-rights/ice-encounter .
