Safety Planning
We provide in-depth and holistic safety planning to immigrant and mixed-status communities confronting the current immigration enforcement crisis. Our safety planning expands from you, to your family, and finally, to your business and community.
Individuals
We assist individuals in building safety plans, prioritizing their preferences and informed decisions for their children, partners, finances, and healthcare in the event of an ICE enforcement emergency, along with training on how to protect individual rights during interactions with immigration enforcement.
Families
All families with immigrant members should participate in safety planning, training, and prepare for some of the risks inherent in the ongoing enforcement crisis. Family plans include group planning for child and elder care, caring for family property, addressing current immigration risks, and providing training on constitutional rights during interactions with immigration enforcement.
