The alarming growth of anti-immigrant sentiment and enforcement actions has both tested and invigorated the resolve of local and national organizations in seeking responses that create immigrant communities free of fear and unwarranted attacks.

A national funding collaborative dedicated to energize American democracy by supporting and engaging immigrants and refugees, the Four Freedoms Fund invites its philanthropic colleagues to learn more about the important efforts underway locally and nationally that address these enforcement actions.

Please join us in San Diego-one of many border communities experiencing these issues firsthand - as we explore the challenges and impact of current and proposed immigration enforcement policies. This briefing will provide an opportunity for funders to:

• Learn from representatives of different border communities (including California, Texas and Arizona) about the impact of current enforcement policies on local communities and their responses;
• Become familiar with national and local efforts across the country working to bolster and improve the national raids response system;
• Learn about transnational community and philanthropic efforts to advance human rights as a critical response to enforcement;
• Identify critical funding needs and opportunities for supporting different responses to enforcement.

For more information on the briefing, you can contact Henry Der at hder@publicinterestprojects.org; for logistics and to RSVP, please contact Ryann Holmes at rholmes@publicinterestprojects.org.
