For years, AFSC has worked with immigrant communities in New Jersey and across the country to stop local law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to round up and detain immigrants.
The rule will deny immigrants green cards for using food assistance or Medicaid.
Over the summer, high school students impacted by the criminal justice system and immigration system took part in Liberation Summer Advocacy Camp, run by AFSC and Echoes of Incarceration in New York City. Participants learned about the roots of injustice in these systems, strategies for advocacy, and how to use filmmaking for change.
