No prerequisites required. All are welcome.

As ICE activity continues across North Carolina — and fear, stress, and uncertainty rise with it — our community has shown incredible courage by coming together, learning together, and preparing to protect one another. Now, we’re deepening that work.

Join us for an advanced community training designed to strengthen your understanding of immigrant rights, expand your practical skills, and support your own wellness as you step into community care.

This 90-minute workshop is led by Brava NC and the Education Justice Alliance, two organizations on the front lines of immigrant justice and community defense.

In This Training, You Will Learn:

Cultural competency essentials
Better understand the communities most impacted by ICE and the cultural contexts that shape their experiences, fears, and needs.

How to support community patrols & neighborhood response teams
Learn deeper skills for observing, documenting, and safely responding to ICE activity while keeping yourself and others protected.

How to care for your own mental health and nervous system through this work
Community defense requires grounded bodies, clear minds, and sustainable practices. We’ll explore ways to manage overwhelm, avoid burnout, and stay emotionally regulated as the political climate intensifies.

Who Should Attend:

• Anyone who attended our first Know Your Rights training

• Anyone who didn’t attend — no prerequisites needed

• Anyone who wants to be better prepared to support neighbors

• Anyone feeling overwhelmed, scared, or unsure of what to do

• Anyone who believes in community care as a form of resistance

Why This Matters:

Our community is safest when we are informed, connected, and empowered. By learning together, we build the skills — and the collective resilience — needed to navigate this moment with clarity, confidence, and courage.
