BHIRN launched in February 2017 to protect and inform the rights of thousands of undocumented immigrants residing in the city of Boyle Heights, CA. ArteagaMeliss reports:
With large communities such as this one, it could be difficult to stay hopeful with rise of raids and threats from the Trump administration—but the Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles, a coalition of organizations committed to the education, mobilization and protection of immigrants in Boyle Heights; and Promesa Boyle Heights, a collective of residents, young people, schools and community organizations in the neighborhood, are standing firm in their fight for immigrant justice.
BHIRN is encouraging community members to have preparedness plans. Among their recommendations are securing emergency contacts, talking to lawyers, storing documents in a consistent location and leaving care statements with family or friends to ensure that children are left in safe hands. Make a file with important documents. Place all important documents including passports, identification cards, birth certificates, bank information and the Letter for Designating a Temporary Caregiver for the school principals.
