HAMPTON ROADS STANDS WITH IMMIGRANTS: Join us on March 23rd for a community event in Norfolk where we will talk about how we can all support and defend our immigrant neighbors.

The event will be at the restaurant Luna Maya. It is free and open to allies and immigrants alike, with English and Spanish presentations.

We will discuss knowing your rights with ICE, (for both immigrants and allies) how businesses and community members can protect immigrants, RISC’s rapid response network, and other critical information.

This event is hosted by the Refugee & Immigrant Solidarity Coalition, the Latinx Law Students Association and the Immigration Law & Service Society at William & Mary, the Virginia Coalition of Latino Organizations, and the Chamber for Hispanic Progress.

We plan to provide refreshments, and Know Your Rights materials will be available for attendees to take home!

Newport News school board has adopted Governor Youngkin's Model Policies, policy that forces teachers to out students to their parents and school administration if they request their teachers to use pronouns or names other than those assigned at birth. We must fight these policies to protect trans youth.
