By Erica Serlin, Lynn Silverman, and Marta Karlov, Co-Chairs, Urgency of Now Immigrant Rights Action Team

We invite you to an excellent upcoming training by the Dane Sanctuary Coalition (DSC) on June 30, 2:00–4:00 pm, in the Frank Adult Lounge at Temple Beth El. You will learn about the legal rights of undocumented immigrants and how to protect those rights when providing assistance to individuals in sanctuary. Two experienced presenters, Jeffrey Spitzer-Resnick, an attorney, president of Congregation Shaarei Shamayim, and chair of the DSC Community Resource Team, and Ruthanne Landsness, a member of the DSC Steering Committee and Orchard Ridge congregation, will be talking about what to do if an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer demands entry at a sanctuary site, showing two brief videos, and answering your questions.

All are welcome, including those who have already attended a similar training and would like a refresher course. This training is required for individuals who plan to volunteer on site at a sanctuary host congregation. Light refreshments will be served.

We hope you’ll come to learn and to meet other people from TBE as well as congregants from other faith communities who are interested in supporting this important work! Please RSVP to Erica Serlin at ericar.serl@gmail.com.
