*NEW* Workshop added: Workplace Raids First Responder Training

We've added a new workshop called "Combating the Chaos of Immigration Raids: First Responder Training"! Students from Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) will relay their experience creating the Workplace Raids First Responder project in the D.C. metro area, under the supervision of Professor Muneer Ahmad and in cooperation with CASA de Maryland, a community-based organization dedicated to protecting immigrant rights. The workshop will showcase the curriculum developed by GULC and provide participants with a blueprint for launching Workplace Raids First Responder teams on their own campuses to provide legal aid in the immediate aftermath of an immigration workplace raid.

There are now 6 different workshops to choose from when you register. If you've already registered for different workshops and would like to switch to First Responder Training, please send an e-mail to rebellious.law.questions@gmail.com with the subject line "First Responder Training Workshop" and list your new top 3 preferences. More information on this workshop and the workshop leaders can be found on the conference website: www.law.yale.edu/reblaw.

p.s. We are getting ready to post the final program schedule very soon-- keep checking back here and on the conference site for updates!
