Be prepared, today & any other.

While @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social proposes community markets in New York @larazacrc.org opens a community market to serve 600 families with culturally appropriate food in San Francisco Mission district

The staff and leadership of La Raza CRC, along with SF Food Bank, and Supervisor Fielder cut the ribbon of a community market. They stand next to each other with a red ribbon in front. Behind them is a market with different fruits and vegetables.

ICE has arrested people at immigration courts -- where they're supposed to get due process.

Last week, SF & Sac rallied against these actions, raising awareness of their effects.

When they attack our courts, they attack justice.

We’re fighting to keep families housed, fed, and informed – to avoid displacement & deportation at all costs.

Help us keep immigrant families safe – we help 1,400+ already.

1 in 5 CA households struggle with hunger .
Over $55m in cuts to #CalFood will be devastating.

Together with #SFMarinFoodBank, we feed 450+ famlies/wk through CalFood.

Tell #CALeg to #FundCalFood at $60M -- and keep vulnerable families from going hungry in California!

NEXT STEPS:

- Find out if you're registered, or are eligible for immigration benefits (may count as registering)

- Visit www.ilrc.org/community-re... for Registration FAQs

But most importantly -- find legal help ASAP.

There are non-profits (like ours!) with free legal support for immigrants!

La Raza Community Resource Center @larazacrc.org · Apr 24

[5] However, not registering also carries threats & risks.

Willful non-registration can lead to a misdemeanor, which may create possible fines, imprisonment, and barriers to future legal entry into the U.S.

.....so, what should you do?

1

La Raza Community Resource Center @larazacrc.org · Apr 24

[4] Note - registration comes with significant risks, especially for undocumented families.

The information requested can lead ICE to addresses and personal connections.

Seek #legal advice ASAP before making a choice!

La Raza Community Resource Center @larazacrc.org · Apr 24

[2 & 3] Many families who have interacted with immigration are already registered.

This includes prior visas, green cards, work permits, NTA's, border crossing cards, and more.

See www.ilrc.org/community-re... for
@the-ilrc.bsky.social's guide for specific documents!

[1] #Registration does not = Permission

Registered undocumented families can be deported, which DHS and the #Trump Admin. has stated they will do.
