Dear Friend... let's make a plan.
We are community members, concerned about the way our town and country are changing. We are teachers, social workers, lawyers, professors, business owners, faith leaders, and many other people in Harrisonburg who want to help.
To every immigrant member of our community:
We value you – you are part of our community. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and related groups are increasingly taking people into custody and disrupting immigrant lives and families.
In the event of an ICE raid, you will need to plan ahead. No plan will be perfect, but having some hard conversations now could make a big difference later on.
If you are concerned about being detained or deported, keep reading to:
Learn critical tips to protect yourself and loved ones
Identify where you can go for help or ask questions
Plan for loved ones and your belongings
Strategize how to keep yourself and others safe
We stand as allies, by your side, but we don't directly face the same situations that you do.
Only you and your community can decide the best ways to protect yourself and your family!
Next: First things first!
