SUMMARY:How to Identify\, Verify\, & Report Immigration Law Scams
DESCRIPTION:As anti-immigrant rhetoric and immigration enforcement have increased across the country\, immigration scams have also become more widespread and sophisticated. \nThese scams often target noncitizens and their loved ones during vulnerable moments\, sometimes resulting in significant financial loss and\, in some cases\, complications for a person’s immigration case. \nThis training will provide an overview of common immigration scams\, discuss the potential impacts on individuals and families\, share strategies for identifying and avoiding scams\, and offer guidance on how to report them. It is open to all and will be led by Emily McCabe of the American Bar Association’s Commission on Immigration. Free to staff and volunteers with not-for-profit organizations. \n

SUMMARY:A film in Kaqchikel & Spanish with English subtitles
DESCRIPTION:Maria\, a 17 year old Mayan girl\, lives and works with her parents on a coffee plantation in the foothills of an active volcano in Guatemala. Anarranged marriage awaits her: her parents have promised her to Ignacio\, the plantation overseer. But Maria doesn’t sit back and accept her destiny. \nPepe\, a young coffee cutter who plans to migrate to the U.S. becomes her possible way out. Maria seduces Pepe in order to run away with him\, but after promises and clandestine meetings\, Pepe takes off\, leaving her pregnant\, alone and in disgrace. There’s no time to lose for Maria’s mother\, who thinks abortion is the only solution. Yet despite her mother’s ancestral knowledge\, the baby remains\, “destined to live.” \nBut destiny has more in store for Maria: a snake bite forces them to leave immediately in search of a hospital. The modern world Maria has so dreamt about will save her life\, but at what price. View the trailer. \nMade possible with the support from Marshall+Sterling\, Radio Kingston\, Herzog’s\, Woodstock Film Festival\, New York Theatre Organ Society\, and Poughkeepsie Public Library District.

SUMMARY:Financial Support for Sponsored Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:Financial Support Sponsored Immigrants May Not Know They Qualify For: Understanding the USCIS Form I-864 Affidavit of Support in Family-Sponsored Cases \nSponsored immigrants may be entitled to meaningful financial support—but advocates often don’t realize it. In this session\, advocates and nonprofit service providers will  learn about Form I-864\, Affidavit of Support\, which can be used to secure ongoing financial assistance for sponsored immigrants struggling to meet basic needs. \nDrawing on real cases and practical examples\, the presentation explains who qualifies\, when the obligation is enforceable\, and how advocates can spot viable cases and connect clients with legal help. The goal is to equip frontline organizations with a concrete\, underused tool to improve financial stability and outcomes for the communities they serve. \nThe training will be led by Greg McLawsen. He represents low-income immigrants in state and federal lawsuits to enforce the USCIS Form I-864\, Affidavit of Support. Greg has published numerous law journal articles on this topic and routinely presents to lawyers and advocacy organizations around the country. \nRegistration will close February 23\, 1pm.

SUMMARY:Mapping Deportations: a classroom-friendly digital resource
DESCRIPTION:Learn about a classroom-friendly digital resource that invites visitors to see the history of U.S. immigration enforcement not as a series of disconnected events\, but as a pattern. \nFor more than two centuries\, U.S. immigration enforcement has favored Europeans and their descendants while targeting non-white migrants for exclusion\, removal\, and punishment. Although U.S. immigration law and policy have shifted over time\, the nation’s immigration enforcement regime has consistently produced this result. \nMapping Deportations offers data visualizations and a timeline to delve deeper into the details of deportation as well as immigrant exclusion\, punishment\, and the informal process known as “voluntary departure.” \nSite co-creator and award-winning historian Kelly Lytle Hernandez will provide an introduction to the purpose and design of the site\, including how the history of anti-immigrant legislation and racism are intertwined. Participants will meet in small groups to brainstorm ways to integrate the site in curriculum\, followed by time to ask Hernandez questions and discuss ideas. Free. Donations welcome.
