Know Your Rights Training - March 20th
On March 19th & 20th, Damayan is holding a Know Your Rights and Community Defense Training, as part of the MAGTANGGOL: Defend Our Communities! Defend Ourselves! Damayan Campaign.
Guest speakers:
Attorneys from Community Development Project at the Urban Justice Center and
Immigrant Defense Project
The venue is TBA for the SUNDAY training.
The MONDAY March 20th Know Your Rights Training will be held at the Damayan office.
We in Damayan call on everyone to seize every opportunity to educate, organize and mobilize to fight back. We need to fight Trump’s demagogy and expose him as a fraud who has no real intention and program to improve the living conditions of the working poor and the unemployed. We have to organize and continue to fight to keep all the rights and power that we have already won.The only way for us to fight back is to build our working class leadership and solidarity and bring our battles in the street.
The first step is to join us on our Know Your Rights training! The program will include presentations from experienced immigration attorneys from Community Development Project at the Urban Justice Center and Immigrant Defense Project as well as Damayan workers and organizers. There will be also be a hands-on training on how to create individual safety planning, community defense teams, and other ways to educate, organize and mobilize our communities.
This event is open to Filipino immigrants and migrant workers and other directly targeted communities (Asian, SE Asian, South Asian, Latino, Muslim, and LGTBQ immigrant and migrant worker organizations and community members). This is also open to supporters but priority will be given to directly targeted communities.
