More than 70 community members from throughout San Diego and Imperial counties came together on July 12 for a daylong training on how to support immigrant families in creating Emergency Preparedness Plans. The ACLU-SDIC hosted this vital training, which was facilitated by UU Rise, and a social hour following the training.
Emergency Preparedness Plans are crucial in the event of a loved one's detention or deportation. Because so much is at stake if a loved one is detained, a prepared family has a much better chance of staying together.
Now's the time to build power over panic in order to best uplift and protect our communities. As Lesly, a participant from Escondido said, "I feel better prepared to support my community and I felt a strong sense of community!"
