AFSC supports local, community-based organizing for “Sanctuary Everywhere.” We provide training to immigrant communities and allies to respond in a safe and quick manner to ICE raids in the community. Documentation and analysis of human and civil rights violations offer a counterweight to the current anti-immigrant pollical context.

We train and accompany community-based leadership to educate, advocate, mobilize, and organize constituents, We work to secure just immigration policies influenced through the lived experience of the Northern Border. Using a human rights framework and in collaboration with community partners, we advance policies affecting immigration and border issues and build alliances to protect the rights of migrants and non-migrants.

Through popular education training and technical assistance, AFSC strengthens the leadership skills of immigrants to affirm their human, civil and labor rights and to influence policies. The program supports the development of non-immigrant allies for just immigration reform. We engage legislators and the media in efforts to create and support policies that honor the dignity and humanity of immigrants.
