November 19: Immigrant Access to Benefits and Resources Through a Public Charge Lens • Attendees will receive an overview of major public benefits programs, and be introduced to tools and resources to help them determine immigrant eligibility for major public benefits programs in Los Angeles. • Attendees will understand the interaction between use of public benefits and impact on future immigration status (public charge) to reduce unnecessary avoidance of public benefits in the community. • Attendees will understand other myths and barriers immigrants face in navigating public benefits and how to talk to the community about these myths to overcome hesitation to use public benefits. December 4: Immigration Legal Framework and Referral Process • Attendees will understand basic framework of US Family-based immigration and its limitations. • Attendees will understand basic eligibility for humanitarian immigration relief. • Attendees will understand danger that notaries/unauthorized providers of immigration services pose. • Attendees will know the referral process to NLSLA and other service providers. December 11: Workers’ Rights and Finding Work • Attendees will understand an overview of immigrant workers' rights and protections in California; • Attendees will learn to navigate legal resources and government state agencies to enforce these rights; • Attendees will learn which employment related rights protect all workers regardless of immigration status, and which employment benefits pertain to documented workers; and leave with a referral sheet to where immigrant workers can look for work (and a discussion of patterns of employment agencies in immigrant communities that raise red flags).
