🧊🚫‼️ Join ICE Out of NY for A Court Accompaniment Volunteer Training!

📆 Sat. Nov 15
🕙 10:00AM
🛜 Hybrid
📍In-Person at The People’s Forum, 320 W 37th St.
🌐Virtually on Zoom
🔗RSVP at https://t.co/gYhpuH0s3D

New York City, home to one of the largest and most diverse immigrant populations in the country, now leads the nation in ICE courthouse abductions. Due to the city’s robust networks of unions, community organizations, and immigrant-led groups, it is also a key location to establish defense and solidarity that can set national precedents for sanctuary and collective protection.

Become part of the volunteer network to support immigrants at court hearings and ICE/ISAP check-ins in New York City. This work responds to escalating federal enforcement targeting immigrant communities through raids, detention, and courthouse arrests. Volunteers accompany community members through these high-risk appointments to provide a calm, supportive presence, follow safety protocols, and stay in contact with the coordination team. Volunteers should be U.S. citizens or non-citizens who understand the risks and have morning availability (usually 7:00–11:00 a.m.). Accompaniments can last 2 to 6 hours or longer, depending on court schedules and outcomes.

The volunteer training will cover basic rights when interacting with ICE and other law enforcement and how to stay safe, organized, and effective before, during, and after accompaniment.

Outside of 26 Federal Plaza, PSC members and allies from across New York— including elected leaders— are blocking ICE vans to prevent the tranfer of kidnapped immigrants to detention centers and elevate our urgent demands. #NYvsICE #ICEoutofNY

[Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams @nycpa]

We have to use every tool available to fight the horror being inflicted on our neighbors by Trump and his paramilitary forces.

This means legislation strengthening protections on the state and local level, and putting our bodies, privilege, and freedom on the line.

NEW: the legislature is NEGOTIATING ON HOUSING. They’ve formed a working group to pull a deal together -- and #GoodCause is on the table.

We know Albany works best on a deadline. Tell @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins it’s time to deliver for tenants: https://t.co/CkjrtP2iCJ

Easy for @AndreaSCousins to say this to press. Can she say the same thing directly to families who are facing rent hikes and evictions right now?

New Yorkers are facing a HISTORIC housing crisis.

High rents are driving us out of our homes, neighborhoods, and even out of the state — while our landlords get richer than ever. It’s time to fight back. Join us May 20th. https://t.co/ste49mWLRj.

Shame on @MountSinaiNYC for paying immigrant union doctors at Elmhurst less than docs doing the same job by Central Park
