About the event:
Join advocates from across the United States for a three-day event focused on protecting civic spaces, schools, and places of worship from cavalier immigration enforcement. In the context of sensitive locations protections, where incidents and general fear are less documented, insights from practitioners across sectors—educators, healthcare professionals, faith leaders, social service providers, courthouse staff, etc.—who can speak directly to the real and perceived risks at sensitive locations can be especially influential in federal advocacy. We welcome perspectives of those who have witnessed or experienced incidents at sensitive locations, knowing that you have a powerful voice to bring to the table.
During the event, you will meet with fellow community builders to exchange ideas and influence federal policy. The fly-in will include in-depth and interactive advocacy training to prepare attendees for meetings with elected officials on the final day.
Applications are due by January 5, 2027.
