On Monday, February 23, 6PM-8PM, you are invited to join us for a powerful and timely Know Your Rights: & Best Practices When Encountering ICE and Law Enforcement gathering of clergy and community leaders, along with African American and Black immigrants from the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. Together, we will host an evening of education, empowerment, and support focused on Black Immigration Reform and Economic Justice for All American Families.

This convening is designed to equip our communities with:

-Access to Legal Advice

-Best Practices for Advocacy and Support

Our featured trainer, Ravidath “Ravi” Ragbir, a Trinidadian-American immigrant rights activist who fought deportation for nearly 20 years, will provide critical insights, practical guidance, and firsthand experience in navigating immigration challenges and organizing for justice.

This event is hosted by a committed coalition of faith-based and community leaders:

Immigrants Responding to Crisis – Rev. Terry Lee
Beraca Community Development Corp. – Pastor Mullery Jean-Pierre

Too many families are being torn apart.
Too many lives are being disrupted.
Too many dreams are being deferred.
Too much fear. Too much pain.

It’s time for change. Immigration Reform Now.

We encourage clergy, faith leaders, advocates, and community members to attend and stand together in solidarity and action.

We look forward to seeing you there.
