SUMMARY:Concord - Immigration Bond Training - NH Immigrants' Rights Project
DESCRIPTION:Now is the time to act! \nACLU of New Hampshire has launched the New Hampshire Immigrants’ Rights Project dedicated to recruiting and training volunteer lawyers and providing direct representation for immigrant detainees at Strafford County Department of Corrections in Dover\, NH. We have our bond hearing training scheduled for September 13\, 2018\, at 6:00 PM at New England College (Concord Campus\, 62 N Main St\, Concord\, NH 03301). \nImmigrants detained in New Hampshire have very limited access to pro bono counsel for bond hearings. Getting immigrants released is a game changer\, as it drastically increases the likelihood they will ultimately win their cases. Be part of the New Hampshire Immigrants’ Rights Project! \nPresenters: \nRon Abramson (abramson IMMIGRATION+ SOLUTIONS) \nEmily Assunta White (abramson IMMIGRATION+ SOLUTIONS) \nSangYeob Kim (ACLU of New Hampshire) \nPlease RSVP by submitting this form http://bit.ly/2MlImnb. The training will be held in person in Concord\, New Hampshire. Let us know if you require any accommodation.

SUMMARY:Deering - All Eyes Are Upon Us: Racial Struggles in the Northeast\, from Jackie Robinson to Deval Patrick
DESCRIPTION:From Brooklyn to Boston\, from World War II to the present\, Jason Sokol traces the modern history of race and politics in the Northeast. Why did white fans come out to support Jackie Robinson as he broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 even as Brooklyn’s blacks were shunted into segregated neighborhoods? How was African-American politician Ed Brooke of Massachusetts\, who won a Senate seat in 1966\, undone by the resistance to desegregation busing in Boston? Is the Northeast’s history a microcosm of America as a whole: outwardly democratic\, but inwardly conflicted over race?

SUMMARY:Manchester-Dover: Solidarity Walk for Immigrant Justice
DESCRIPTION:From Wednesday\, August 22 to Saturday\, August 25\, supporters of humane immigration policies will walk the approximately 40 miles from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Manchester to the jail in Dover where ICE incarcerates people they intend to deport. \nAs Father Sam Fuller says\, “Our walk will mirror the trip an immigrant who is detained by I.C.E. takes from the Federal Building to the Dover Jail and possible deportation.” By walking this route together in solidarity\, we will be taking steps toward a future where human rights are respected\, families are able to stay together\, and neighbors are able to live free from fear. \nFrom its departure at St. Anne-St. Augustin Church and the Norris Cotton Federal Building in Manchester on Wednesday\, August 22\, the Solidarity Walk will pass through the towns of Auburn\, Candia\, Raymond\, Epping\, Lee\, Madbury\, and Dover. It will conclude with a prayer service and vigil outside the Stafford County Jail in Dover on Saturday afternoon\, August 25. \nIn addition to walking\, we will hold educational programs\, open to the public\, each evening along the way. More details will be posted here when they are available. \nFollow this link to sign up to walk or to volunteer as a support vehicle driver or event helper: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b084ea5ab23a6f94-walker \nThe Solidarity Walk is sponsored by the the NH Immigrant Solidarity Network\, including the Granite State Organizing Project\, NH Council of Churches\, American Friends Service Committee\, United Valley Interfaith Project\, the Immigrant and Refugee Support Group of the United Church of Christ’s NH Conference\, and Unitarian Universalist Action.
