Indivisibles, 
   On Monday, during his inaugural speech, President Trump reiterated his
   pledge to carry out mass deportations, vowing to expel millions of our
   neighbors from our country. Hours later, his administration revoked a
   critical Biden-era policy that protected schools, places of worship, and
   other "sensitive locations" from immigration enforcement. This week, Trump
   has signed at least six executive orders targeting immigrants. 
   Now, immigrants across the country are living in fear and increasing
   isolation. Families are terrified that, without warning, ICE will descend
   on the places where they used to find safety and community and tear loved
   ones away. 
   This is an incredibly dangerous and uncertain time. Trump’s policies are
   not merely aimed at targeting those with violent criminal records -- they
   are deliberately crafted to terrorize and dehumanize essential members of
   our communities, both documented and undocumented. 
   Now more than ever, we must unite with urgency to protect and defend
   vulnerable members of our communities. Immigrants, regardless of their
   status, are human beings who deserve to live with dignity and without
   fear. Their lives should not be uprooted or destroyed by a cruel and
   racist agenda that’s primary aim is to grow Trump’s power at any cost. 
   We need to act now. Here’s what we can do:
     1. Protect our children with the [ [link removed]- ]Safe Schools for Every Student
        toolkit: Trump’s decision to strip "sensitive locations" protections
        has left schoolchildren vulnerable to ICE enforcement, spreading fear
        among immigrant families. Our new toolkit empowers local Indivisible
        groups to demand school boards adopt policies that keep schools safe
        for every student, regardless of immigration status. Adapted from the
        National Education Association’s Guidance on Immigration Issues, this
        toolkit includes actionable steps, legal insights, model policies,
        and outreach materials to help communities stand strong and ensure
        every child can learn without fear.
     2. Know your rights: Understanding your rights is the first step in
        protecting yourself and your community. Immigrant advocacy groups
        like the [ [link removed]- ]ACLU and the [ [link removed]- ]National Immigration Law Center have
        created essential "Know Your Rights" resources that outline what to
        do during encounters with immigration agents, whether at home, at
        work, or in public. These resources include critical information
        about your legal protections, how to respond calmly and safely, and
        what to avoid saying or doing. Equip yourself with this knowledge and
        share it widely to help build a stronger, more informed community.
     3. Volunteer your legal expertise: Attorneys, this one’s for you. Your
        skills can help protect immigrant families from unjust deportations
        and ensure they receive the legal support they deserve by
        volunteering to provide virtual counsel and advice or representing a
        family or youth in immigration proceedings. The Immigration Advocates
        Network connects attorneys with opportunities to assist those in
        need, offering guidance every step of the way. [ [link removed]- ]Sign up to
        volunteer and be a lifeline for vulnerable communities. 
     4. Support immigrant advocacy groups: Organizations providing legal aid,
        direct support, and sanctuary to immigrants are on the frontlines of
        this fight. They need our help now more than ever. [ [link removed]- ]Donate to the
        National Immigration Law Center (or an organization of your choosing)
        today. 
   We know that many of these policies are being challenged in court as we
   write this, but in the meantime, immigrant families are enduring profound
   fear and uncertainty. Parents are wondering if it’s safe to send their
   children to school. Workers are afraid of being detained on their way to
   their jobs. Families are living in constant fear of being separated from
   one another.
   But we also know this: Together, we can send a powerful message. Our
   communities are stronger when we’re united, our immigrant neighbors are
   not alone, and we will not stand by as families are torn apart. By
   equipping ourselves with knowledge, demanding action from our local
   leaders, and supporting the organizations on the frontlines, we can
   protect our immigrant neighbors and push back against Trump’s cruel and
   unjust policies.
   In solidarity,
   Indivisible Team
