Join ASISTA for an overview of the current state-level policy landscape facing immigrant survivors (both positive and negative), and the potential of advocacy for protective policies and legislation. We will discuss successful – and collaborative – advocacy efforts, such as U certification statutes and the Keeping ICE Out of Courts Act in New York, and how those models may be replicable in other jurisdictions. We will also highlight recent anti-immigrant legislation at the state level and the lawsuits and efforts to oppose them. ASISTA welcomes input and questions from the audience. 

Speakers: 

• Hamra Ahmad, Head of Legal Programs and Policy, Her Justice
• Viviana Westbrook, State and Local Advocacy Attorney, CLINIC
• Lia Ocasio, Staff Attorney, ASISTA

Note: Approved for 1.5 TX MCLE credit hrs. 

Intended audience: Those who serve immigrant survivors in a professional capacity.

Note: This webinar will be presented in English only.

Webinar Cost: ASISTA Special Webinars are open to all who are interested in learning about these issues. These webinars are not free for ASISTA members or OVW grantees, and we charge all attendees a nominal fee to cover our expenses.
