DU's ACS and ACLU Student Chapters are collaborating with the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, https://coloradoimmigrant.org/, to provide in-person training on Saturday, February 28th, at DU Law.
This is a meaningful opportunity to stand in solidarity with immigrant community members and gain hands-on training that makes a real impact. Whether you’re interested in rapid response work or supporting families directly, there is a role for you. CIRC staff are fielding a lot of training requests, and so please only sign up if you can commit to the training day and time.
Volunteer Roles Include:
Docuteam Volunteers (Spanish required)
DocuTeam members support families that have loved ones in detention, and it is a longer-term commitment.
Confirmer Volunteers (Spanish helpful, not required)
Confirmers respond to reports of suspected ICE sightings and help verify whether ICE activity is occurring so that accurate information can be shared with the community.
The ACS Tampa Lawyer Chapter is hosting its next Grounds for Discussion on Saturday, Feb 28, at 10 am. Professor Jeffrey D. Swartz will be leading the discussion.
