Online Training: How to Fight Back for Immigrant Rights

At this unprecedented time of attacks on immigrant students and families, we know that schools are not exempt from the increased ICE presence and threats, and consequent chilling effects on students and families we are seeing around the country.

Learn from other state and local affiliates in the NEA world who are standing up as a union and in partnership with community to defend immigrants in this four-part series. You will learn tangible, on the ground tactics and organizing from members, partners, and affiliates who are finding innovative ways to fight back. Then a week after each affiliate presentation, you are invited to join an open conversation with members from around the country to learn from one another and brainstorm how to implement these and other tactics to fight back for immigrant rights at home in an open organizing conversation and session.
