New Immigration Modules now available in Online Leadership Academy (OLA) Labor Lab
"Know Your Rights: Protect Yourself, Your Co-Workers and Your Family" is a series of trainings developed by the AFSCME Education Department based on the AFSCME Immigration Toolkit.
These sessions are designed to prepare members, their families and coworkers to stay safe and informed in the face of immigration enforcement. Whether you are undocumented, a DACA or TPS holder, a green card holder, or a U.S. citizen with loved ones, co-workers or community members at risk, these trainings are for you.
In addition to an introduction video, the first two modules in the series have been released:
- Immigrant Rights: Know Them, Use Them. This course teaches you how to recognize your legal rights—regardless of your immigration status—and how to respond safely during encounters with ICE. Learn what to say, what not to say, how to document interactions, and how to assert your rights clearly and calmly.
- Bystander Action During an Immigration Raid. This course gives you the tools to assess the situation, document what’s happening, assert your rights, and support those targeted—without putting yourself or others at further risk.
