Join Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, the ACLU of Louisiana, and the Southeast Dignity Not Detention Coalition for a free webinar explaining how emergency federal court litigation together with community organizing can be used to defend immigrant communities during the incoming Trump administration. During our one-hour webinar, we’ll share how to fight back against imminent deportation and detention through temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and other individual-case litigation in conjunction with organizing strategies like coalition-building, political education & awareness campaigns, release campaigns, establishing detention visitation networks, and grassroots advocacy programs.
Participants will learn:
- The nuts-and-bolts of how to seek emergency relief from federal courts, including where to access template legal filings;
- How to identify facts to support legal claims to stop deportation, including in cases where people are facing retaliation for activism; awaiting adjudication of a visa before USCIS; have severe medical or mental health issues; have a claim to unaccompanied child status; or were ensnared by illegal enforcement practices during work-site and other raids; and
- How lawyers and grassroots organizers can collaborate on individual campaigns to stop deportation and in longer-term movements to hold the US government accountable for systemic human rights abuses.
