To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations. Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

@socfeminist.bsky.social 6/6 Finally, find out who in school’s community is doing rapid response or emergency trainings. They can help with teaching students how to behave if arrested -who to ask for - how to work the system for their best outcome.

@socfeminist.bsky.social 5/6 Students should memorize a phone number to call if they get picked up by police - anyone they think that could help connect them to legal services. Whether that’s a smart connected family member, a legal aid clinic, a parish priest, etc.

@socfeminist.bsky.social 3/6 Prepare a list of Immigration lawyers in Chicago — look for “immigration legal aid” in your area.

@socfeminist.bsky.social 2/6 Prepare a general resource list of any campus mental health ressources. Prepare a list of any community sliding scale mental health services.

@socfeminist.bsky.social Suggestions for your students. Hope one or more is helpful. 1/6 If a student is undocumented but has a DACA registration —they should make sure their real-registration process is started (or completed if due soon) pre-inauguration.
