Workshop #1: ICE Resistance
Workshop #1: ICE Resistance
The Colorado Rapid Response Network is a network of 1,800 volunteers across the state of Colorado trained to respond to ICE raids. Attend this workshop to join the CORRN Network as a confirmer, and get information about how to connect your community to the larger statewide network. We’ll practice responding to a raid, getting answers from officers and sharing know your right information with folks who need it. In 2016, through the Immigration Resistance Table, the American Friends Service Committee, the Colorado People’s Alliance, the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, Mi Familia Vota, Together Colorado, Padres y Jóvenes Unidos, and the ACLU came together to start the statewide Colorado Rapid Response Network in preparation for increased immigration enforcement operations.
