Secure Communities Teach-In
California Statewide Immigrant Rights Call
Secure Communities Teach-In
Thursday, July 8, 2010
2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Join a statewide teach-in call to learn more about S-COMM (so called “Secure Communities”) and what we can do to halt the expansion of this harmful program in California.
While Arizona’s SB1070 is in the spotlight, S-COMM is expanding rapidly in California and could bring similar results. Twenty counties are already participating and more will be go “live” in the coming months.

How can communities opt-out and organize against this harmful program?
The teach-in will include discussion with legal experts and community organizers, and will feature:
Legal overview of S-COMM with Q&A
Report-backs from counties that already have S-COMM
Best practices for political organizing and media
Strategy discussion for local and state advocacy
Review of counties facing implementation next (including Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, and Santa Cruz in mid-July)
