I just talked to Luis. He said he’s available to meet tomorrow at 6pm at the migrant center to talk more about Sunday.
He mentioned that he was at court today (not immigration court) and people were not coming to their hearings for things like traffic violations - he was not sure what to do about that, but we can talk about it tomorrow.

Also made a couple new images.
Valley watch resources, they said we are free to use them:

Shifting through the Legal Observer Website and looking online I found this presentation for a general training and introduction of this topic.
This can definitely be modified to work for current and more local issues here in Stockton and San Joaquin county.
Thanks @Raiken_202 and @Veewok for working on the KYR things today. We have a decent draft for the flyers (4 half pages - so 1 page both sides) and we have two demonstrations to walk through.
We finished writing (in English and Spanish) KYR materials for if ICE comes to your home, approaches you in public, at your work, and what documents to keep on you. You can see the final draft here.
We held the KYR workshop and overall it went very well! The demonstration of what to do (and not do) when ICE comes to your home seemed like it was beneficial.
We still have to make the following guides:
After the Tenant Union Workshop, @HipGnosis, @Bozzii, and I talked more about how it does not seem like Valley Watch Network is able to staff up here. We talked about potentially starting our own rapid response program, but we would need to figure out how to do recruitment, enrollment, and training on our own.
I did finally hear back that they are scheduling a time to do the training with NCVDSA. So perhaps thinks are changing?
Just as a reminder, this is what we voted to approve:
Finally, we need to set a date to meet with Luis and the other folks we met during the workshop.
Please fill out this rallly poll so we can set dates to meet to work on these various things.
Personally, I think it’d be way easier to work with something preexisting like VWN or NCR’s system than to try to organize it ourselves.
I also think it’ll make things easier when people actually need to contact rapid response people if there’s only one or two numbers they need to reach.
