Protecting Immigrant, Citizen and Mixed Status Families
Children’s Action Alliance envisions Arizona as a state where all children and families thrive. When children live in fear, we are failing our children.
As federal immigration enforcement operations deploy tactics that raise legal, constitutional, and moral concerns, Children’s Action Alliance encourages partners to be informed and resourced to support the well-being and safety of immigrant, citizen, and mixed-status children and families in Arizona.
In preparation and response to federal actions, families and allies can seek and share valuable resources, including the following:
1. The Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project
- Email: firrp@firrp.org
- For Immigrant Parents | Making a Family Plan
- Website: www.firrp.org
2. Aliento
3. Arizona Center for Empowerment (ACE)
4. National Immigration Law Center (NILC)
- Email: info@nilc.org
- What to Do if You Are Arrested or Detained by Immigration
- Website: www.nilc.org
5. Children Thrive Action Network (CTAN)
6. Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP)
- Email: info@clasp.org
- A Guide to Creating “Safe Space” Policies for Early Childhood Programs
- Website: www.clasp.org
Children’s Action Alliance is committed to advocating for policies to protect children and their families. We stand opposed to unlawful and inhumane immigration enforcement operations that harm children, violate constitutional processes and protections, or erode trust and public safety in our communities. Consider the following recent reports, which raise exactly such concerns:
- ICE agents mistakenly detain U.S. marshal in Arizona
- ICE resumes courthouse arrests in Phoenix, but with new tactics amid opposition
- All the U.S. Citizens, Children Detained or Deported by ICE
We continue to urge all Arizonans to stay informed and share resources for the protection of all children and families in Arizona.
