Join Us for Our Wednesday, February 25th Luncheon

Join us on Wednesday, February 25th for another spectacular event and presentation!

Advocates for Immigrants: What is a Rapid Response Team?

In response to increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity, communities across the country are forming rapid response teams—community-based networks designed to document, monitor, and respond to ICE actions in real time. This month’s luncheon will feature two Verde Valley activists, Julie Fernatt and Anne Emerson, who will share their firsthand experiences building rapid response teams in their community, and explore how similar efforts can be expanded throughout Yavapai County.

The luncheon meeting is held at the Centennial Center. (1989 Wineglass Dr, Prescott)

Registration for the luncheon is REQUIRED so we can get an accurate meal count to The Center. Please email events@dwpaaz.org for any reservations with payment at the door, cancellations, ticket transfer requests, special accessibility or financial needs, or luncheon questions.
