We are now holding weekly meetings. Join us!

Thursdays at 5:30pm

Brooklyn Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)
110 Schemerhorn St
Brooklyn, NY 11201

Join us to learn how we stand with people who are pursuing legal immigration status while facing a hostile system. During Accompaniment, we join respondents (whom we call Friends) for their hearings and check-ins by appointment. Court Witnessing means going into courthouses as groups to meet people for the first time in waiting rooms. We give Friends useful information, help them with paperwork, stay present with them before, during, and after their hearings, and connect them with immediate and ongoing resources to help them fight deportation and detention.

Trained volunteers, people seeking help with paperwork, and translators (especially fluent Spanish speakers), please arrive at 5:45pm.

Walkers gather at the front entrance of 26 Federal Plaza (Broadway side) at 11am. Early-comers can join us at the Federal Gourmet deli across the street (325 Broadway) in the upstairs seating area.

We will walk seven laps around the Federal Plaza building, stopping each time for a brief silent prayer. After the last lap, we will recite the Jericho Prayer.

Please note that Monday trainings are for those who have taken a training or have experience at the clinic. New volunteers should join a Wednesday training.

Be a part of the revolutionary effort to support people facing deportation with their paperwork as they navigate a hostile immigration system. “Pro se” means “for oneself” in Latin, and in legal parlance, it refers to people who are maneuvering legal proceedings without representation.

Immigration is a civil matter, not a criminal one, and as such, people facing deportation are not entitled to court-appointed lawyers.

Friends need teams right away. Join a team and make a real difference!

Join Andrea Barrientos, attorney at the City Bar Justice Center’s Immigrant Justice Project, for a virtual training on the basics of humanitarian immigration law. Andrea will provide an overview of: Asylum, Withholding of Removal, CAT protection; Special Immigrant Juvenile Status; U visas and T visas; and more. Come with questions and leave with answers.

The link for this online training will be sent registrants before the training.
