Mutual Aid Monday ✨✨✨ ACLU Maine
The ACLU of Maine is the state’s guardian of liberty. We are active in the courts, the legislature and the public sphere to defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and to extend their promises to all Mainers. Our priority issues include criminal legal reform, reproductive freedom, racial justice, immigrants’ rights, LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, voting rights, freedom of expression, freedom of speech and religion, and privacy.
Join us for our next Action Event on Sept 5 @ 5:30pm with & at our DT location…
Join Heather Zimmerman of the ACLU of Maine and Victoria Rutledge for an evening of Know Your Rights information, discussion, and gentle movement.
We will focus on federal immigration operations and how the current administration is using our state to facilitate its mass deportation agenda. We will discuss (1) the differences between federal immigration agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and state and local police; (2) our rights when interacting with federal immigration enforcement; and (3) how we can share information with other people about their legal rights. We will also practice how to respond when interacting with law enforcement officers ourselves and as bystanders. This session will be bookended by gentle movements and body scans to keep us firmly rooted in our bodies even when the world’s woes are escalating.
