SanctuaryHood is an effort by New Sanctuary Coalition and allies to educate and train our neighbors and local businesses on how to protect each other from ICE raids.

In the Richmond Hill neighborhood of Queens, the site of a recent ICE raid, the community organizations Desis Rising up and Moving (DRUM) and the South Queens Women’s March (SQWM) have taken the streets to conduct SanctuaryHood walkthroughs. During walkthroughs, small teams enter businesses and talk with owners and employees, distributing resources including New Sanctuary’s Beyond Know Your Rights pamphlets and Protect Your Workplace manuals, enlisting them to join local training sessions, where they can learn in-depth information on how to protect the community from ICE.

If you are interested in organizing SanctuaryHood efforts in your New York City neighborhood, reach out to us at info[at]newsanctuarynsc.org.
