CWS Durham

We hear directly from those in our client communities that fear has increased, with many members intimidated by ICE/CBP threats and past presence, eager to know what to do if approached by officers. CWS Durham is proud to expand our Know Your Rights presentations in a variety of languages. These sessions empower community members with legal information, safety planning, and preparedness resources. We recently hosted an Arabic-language Know Your Rights presentation with 15 attendees.

Many thanks to the volunteers, colleagues, and donors who make this event possible.

State of Play event is tomorrow! Come to learn about recent policy changes impacting our immigrant and refugee neighbors.

Our CWS Durham team would like to invite you to join us for an upcoming State of Play interactive session.

In addition to offering an online attendance option, we will be gathering in person in Durham to hear the CWS HQ policy team virtually share updates about how recent policies are impacting our most vulnerable neighbors.

During the initial session, the policy team will provide an update on where the work of CWS stands right now, what we are seeing nationally, and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

After the virtual presentation, we will host a short discussion focused on ways to become further involved through advocacy, volunteering, and giving. Our hope is that we will leave with tangible action steps for how we can come together as a community to continue to support our refugee and immigrant neighbors.

Please save the date and register if you plan to attend; light refreshments will be provided. Those virtually participating will also have a chance to attend the "further involvement" session.
