ICE Response Basics training

The purpose of this training is to teach what our legal rights are during interactions with law enforcement, how to ID ICE, and how to respond when you see an ICE raid happening. Our goals are to support our community members who are being targeted, document, and reduce detentions. These steps are based off historical successes, tactics currently being used in targeted cities, and actions our local immigration organizations are taking. Every community is different so these steps and procedures can vary according to where you are and how much support you have on scene.

You can RSVP on our encrypted form here so we can send you the link to the training and a follow up email with materials from the training. You can also click the zoom link provided in the details section at 6:30pm on April 11th! We understand that people are hesitant to share their personal information so we do not require registration to attend. You are not required to be logged into an email address to attend the training.

This training is virtual only and presented by We Keep Us Safe: El Pueblo Unido Contra ICE. We Keep Us Safe is a grassroots initiative to help the metro Denver area organize proactively and effectively to protect our community members from being inhumanely kidnapped by ICE. We are developing a hub of resources and best practices targeted towards the Denver area, but many of the resources are statewide. This can be found on our website wkus-co.org! We are educating and activating community members through canvassing, training, and outreach. Our goal is to support interested volunteers across the Denver area in building community and solidarity–and to support volunteers in effectively self-organizing in the face of state violence.

Community Defense Groups and Patrols

This training will cover the basics of how to get started organizing a community defense group and patrols to protect our neighbors that are being targeted by this fascist regime. There are many roles behind the scenes and a lot of footwork involved, especially for those of us not currently connected within our community. Having strong community connections and support is essential for all of us to endure and prevail against authoritarianism! Every community is different, but this training will give you basic guidelines to follow and safety tips. We will cover the early steps, how to structure a rapid response team in the event of an ICE encounter, and some other ways to help outside of patrols. This training will be useful even if you have already started organizing!

This training will be entirely virtual and open to the public. You can RSVP on our encrypted form here with your email address so we can send you the link to the training and have an idea of the number of attendees. You can also just click the zoom link provided in the details section below when the training starts! We understand that many of us are hesitant to share personal information with strangers, and we don’t require registration for attendance. We now use webinars on zoom so you do not have to log in with your email address!
