Please register to receive the Zoom link or the in-person address. Please Note: Due to the sensitive nature of this training, an El Pueblo Unido team member will personally follow up with each registration to confirm participation. Our in-person training will be held at a trusted, private sanctuary space—not open to the public. ICE is not welcomed here. What: As part of our Social Services Program, El Pueblo Unido will be training volunteers to provide accompaniment to immigrant community members during critical appointments. Whether it’s an ICE check-in, a school meeting, a doctor’s visit, or a court hearing, having someone stand beside you can make a powerful difference in how you’re treated and what happens next. Volunteers will be trained on how to accompany people respectfully and effectively. In this hands-on training, we’ll walk you step-by-step through our accompaniment protocols, how to document what you observe, and what to do if you witness abuse or mistreatment. You’ll also learn how to coordinate logistics and how we match you with accompaniment requests from the community. https://actionnetwork.org/events/community-defense-volunteer-training-accompaniment-team
