Únase al Comité de Derechos de Inmigrantes y Refugiados para la sesión de "Capacitación de Formadores" sobre el Plan de Emergencia Familiar, en colaboración con el Indo American Center.

Esta capacitación sobre el Plan de Emergencia Familiar está diseñada para empoderar al personal de las concejalías municipales, a diversas organizaciones y a otros defensores de derechos, con el fin de ayudar a las familias inmigrantes a elaborar planes de cuidado de emergencia para sus hijos. La sesión se centrará en la importancia de contar con un plan de emergencia familiar y en el proceso para crearlo; asimismo, abordará qué documentos se consideran esenciales y cómo asegurar que las familias puedan establecer, de manera proactiva, un plan de emergencia para sus hijos ante la eventualidad de una detención o deportación.
