Join Indivisible for timely and actionable training on how to protect immigrant rights right here in our own communities!
Federal agents are being deployed across the US to disappear our neighbors, friends, and families off the street. What can we do? Register for Solidarity in Action: Protect Immigrant Rights, Build Collective Power with special guest Maribel Hernández Rivera on Wednesday, November 5, at 7pm ET/4pm PT to find out.
Immigration is the backbone of the American dream — but there has never been a time when this country has truly welcomed all immigrants safely. And right now, the federal government is enacting a campaign of cruelty on our communities that is ripping families apart and disappearing human beings off the street, from their jobs, even from their homes.
On this call, National Director of Immigrant Community Strategies for the ACLU Maribel Hernández Rivera will help allies show up for immigrant communities as they face potential law enforcement encounters. You’ll learn bystander and immigrant rights during these interactions, alongside practical strategies to safely and effectively act as an ally.

Maribel received her J.D. from New York University School of Law, her Masters in Public Affairs from Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs, and her A.B. from Harvard University.
