Know Your Rights: Train the Trainer
In collaboration with Project ANAR, this training equips community members, service providers, advocates, and allies with the tools to effectively lead Know Your Rights workshops.
Speakers, Laila Ayub, co-founder Sara Kohgadai of Project ANAR, and Sara Kohgadai, co-director of Project ANAR, share with participants practical strategies for facilitating workshops and strengthening advocacy within their own communities.
We have compiled the key materials and tools shared during the session to support your ongoing community work:

Rapid Response Reference Guide from Project ANAR
Creating a Family Preparedness Plan from Immigrant Legal Resource Center
Immigrant Students' Rights to Attend Public Schools from Intercultural Development Research Association
Immigration Guidance at School for Educators and Families from the National Education Association (NEA)

💬 Virtual Supports
Mental Health Connector by Immigrants Rising: a free, virtual, and confidential mental health service for undocumented students in California between 18 and 45 years old. Eligible applicants will be matched with a therapist on a first-come, first-served basis and will close once capacity is reached.
The Ready Now App by Human Rights First’s Innovation Lab: a tool for immigrants in fear of deportation and separation from their families. Developed in partnership with the NILRA, immigration attorneys, community advocates, and cybersecurity experts, to ensure the app is not only effective but safe to use—especially under the uniquely hostile enforcement environment of the current administration. Works on iPhones and Android.
📊 Data Tools for Advocacy
The Deportation Data Project: Updated individual-level ICE enforcement data, which now covers Sep. 2023 through Jul. 29, 2025. The new dataset includes tables tracking all ICE encounters, detainers, arrests, and detentions. It does not include a removals table because that table contained significant errors.
The California Immigrant Data Portal: a resource and progress tracker for immigrants and those serving immigrant communities across the state of California. This portal presents data and case studies that can be used to better understand and promote the well-being of immigrants, their families, and their communities.
