At the training you will learn:
What the current ICE presence in the state looks like and what laws exist in CT.
Best practices for what to do if you see ICE in your communities, how safely to record, and other considerations
Safety considerations and your rights when encountering law enforcement

Hands-Off Connecticut aims to be a collective of community organizations, churches, unions, activists, and immigrants that are committed to protecting CT's immigrant community from ICE and federal immigration enforcement. We know that the most immediate and effective way to protect our immigrant communities is through mass mobilizing and grassroots community organizing. We aim to gather, support, and uplift local community groups and hyper-local structures that operate and grow across all Connecticut to protect and empower our immigrant communities.
Organize - Protect - Resist
