Get Involved! New Sanctuary Coalition

New Sanctuary Coalition meets every Thursday from 5:30 – 7:30 at the Brooklyn Friends Meeting House, 110 Schemerhorn Street, Brooklyn.  We are activists working out ways to protect communities, including the immigrant community, and the LGB and trans communities, from this administration’s policies.

After a round-up of report-backs on what people observed in the last week, we breakout into groups pursuing specific actions.  Those breakout groups include: neighborhood groups disseminating information on immigrant rights; accompaniment of those going to deportation hearings; helping specific individuals who are facing deportation; rapid response teams; pro-see clinic; and counseling for those facing detention.

All are welcome, including students, activists, and faith leaders. Especially needed are people with legal expertise–lawyers, legal assistants, and paralegals, currently working or retired, to help revitalize its pro-se clinic.

Many immigrants facing deportation cannot afford or find legal assistance and we wish to aid them to the best of our abilities in their quest to avoid deportation.  Having those who understand court instructions and forms to work with them will greatly increase their chances of receiving permission to remain in the U.S. If you’re interested or possibly available, email bfp@brooklynpeace.org.
