Be a part of the revolutionary effort to support our Friends 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 have 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. And because legal representation is often cost-prohibitive, most people fighting deportation have no choice but to proceed pro se. Each Wednesday, we work in teams to support Friends as they fight for their rights in the court system and beyond.

This training will focus on helping Friends navigating their cases pro se in filing to have their immigraiton hearings online.
