One example of client outreach & “Know your rights” education is from IICONN, which has begun hosting community forums for unity and understanding, which are open to clients and the public. The first installment was the week after the elections, so people could voice their concerns and ask questions to one of our attorneys and BIA representatives. The second installment was the night of the e-consultation, 1/25/17, with the theme “Know Your Rights”. All are welcome.
Safe spaces:
- Partnerships for Trauma Recovery did a campaign called Our Response: Creating Safe Space for Refugees.
