DACA presentation at ETHS on Sept. 26

A note from Oakton PTA president Alicia Aiken, and ETHS parent Rachel Sollinger:

El martes 26 de setiembre de 6pm. a 7pm. se llevará a cabo una nueva sesión informativa con lo último acerca de DACA. En esta oportunidad el Centro de Justicia para los inmigrantes (NIJC, por sus siglas en inglés) brindará importantísima información sobre los derechos de las personas que tienen DACA y las implicaciones de la rescisión de este programa. Recuerden que quienes tienen DACA y cuyo permiso de trabajo expira ANTES del 5 de marzo del 2018 deben aplicar por la RENOVACIÓN antes del 5 de octubre del 2017.

¡Este es un evento abierto a TODA LA COMUNIDAD!

Debido al corto plazo, informaremos de todos los talleres y sesiones acerca de la renovación que se están llevando a cabo en Chicago y suburbios, conducidos por instituciones confiables.

Habrá mucha más información. Los esperamos.

MARTES 26 DE SETIEMBRE, DE 6PM A 7PM, EN EL CENTRO DE BIENVENIDA DE ETHS, E112.
1600 Dodge Ave. Evanston, IL 60076

Más información:

English:

On September 26th from 6-7pm, National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) will be at the ETHS Welcome Center (room E112) to do a presentation for DACA recipients and their families about their rights and the implications of Trump’s DACA rescission. This event is for the entire Evanston community.

In the meantime, any DACA recipient whose work permit expires BEFORE March 5, 2018 may apply for a renewal BEFORE October 5, 2017. Because Trump gave this group JUST one month, immigration organizations have quickly organized workshops to help families complete these forms, compile applications and supporting documentation. Unfortunately, there is not enough time to organize a workshop locally.

This public google doc contains a list of DACA Renewal workshops staffed by immigration attorneys and BIA-approved specialists: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LK0Ht24kMemfmrWAVYqEyalT7kmgWtc04qkfzuT-bDY/edit?usp=sharing

Please share this link with teachers, counselors, churches, etc. (We are working on translating it.) Also see/print this event flier in Spanish and short “Know Your Rights” flier, in Spanish and English.

The spreadsheet only includes workshops within an hour drive of Evanston. It is not an exhaustive list and will grow as more workshops are scheduled. Most offer free legal services, a few have a fee (they are noted). Most require pre-registration.

Each renewal application costs $495. The Mexican Consulate is offering financial help to Mexican citizens and there are a number of other possible sources of funds listed on the google document. ICIRR is keeping an updated list as well. That link is on the google doc.

Individuals seeking DACA renewal will need to bring a number of documents with them to any renewal clinic or workshop. The documents needed are listed on the last page of the google doc. Because there is limited time and a limited number of workshops, we need to make sure this information gets into the hands of those that need it ASAP.

Please feel free to forward any questions to Rachel Sollinger (rachelsollinger@gmail.com) or to Miguel Ruiz at EPL. (mruiz@cityofevanston.org)
