| Vermont Immigration Legal Defense FundraiserThursday, April 2, at 7:30 pm (Doors open at 7) Organizer: Vermont Immigration Legal Defense Fund Location: Brattleboro Museum
The Vermont Immigration Legal Defense Fund is a non-partisan, statewide effort that raises money to provide due process for immigrants and asylum seekers facing removals, detention, and deportation. Without legal support, even those with strong claims are left to navigate the complex proceedings alone and are far less likely to prevail.
This is a direct way to help our neighbors who are contending with current federal immigration practices. Join state leaders, immigration attorneys, the president of the Kennedy Center for Human Rights and community leaders to hear the latest on the Fund’s substantial impact, thanks to support received across Vermont.

ACLU Spring Know Your Rights TourThursday, 4/9, at 6 pm Organizer: ACLU Vermont Location: Provided to registrants
In the face of the federal government’s ongoing efforts to divide and demoralize us, it’s more vital than ever that we come together, meet our neighbors, understand our rights and how to assert them, and show up for our democracy.
We’re hitting the road this spring to partner with organizations and Indivisible chapters across the state to deliver Know Your Rights trainings focused on interacting with immigration enforcement and protest rights.
We’ll go over constitutional rights and responsibilities when interacting with law enforcement, as well as protest rights. There will be time for community building and getting to know your fellow participants.
This may be a potluck, but plans are not final.

These are protest messaging that can be posted on America’s streets and easily shared by a website link could help get much more protest messaging in the public eye. Eighteen posters are now available on the site. There’s also an online suggestion box for additional posters that people think should be added. |
