Good morning LEAD NetRoots members and colleagues,

Some people had asked for a better definition on what is a sanctuary center of higher education?

First, the campus must pledge to remain an open educational community for all, particularly those who have been targeted in recent months.

A sanctuary center of higher education is a place that values and protects all members of the community. It is based on the moral and ethical responsibility of colleges and universities that grows from their special role in society as places of free inquiry and education.

It is designed to counter the fear that impedes our mission. It puts the institution on record as pledging it will do what it can to protect vulnerable populations in the event that forces move against them unfairly or immorally. It means the we pledge to refuse to cooperate with immoral laws, executive orders, police demands, or judicial decisions that target these members of our community. It means we refuse to report the names or other information about our students, to turn them over to authorities, or to otherwise aid in their persecution.

In terms of an actual proposal or plan, some steps may be:

a) Prohibit access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on campus.

b) Deny ICE access to student, staff, and faculty data.

c) Provide relevant training for all faculty, staff, and students.

d) Ensure all students, faculty, and staff are treated equitably.

e) Develop a plan to provide assistance, information, and safety for students and families.

f) Shelter targeted students, staff, and faculty, along with their families.

If you haven't yet, please consider signing, helping make our college campuses safer environments for diverse communities, and support protections against the persecution and bigotry toward Muslims, LGBTQIA people, African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Mexicans and Latinos, immigrants, women, sexual assault victims, and disabled populations, and will not participate in any attempt to deny our students their right to an education in a dignified future.

<<ICE Raids_Educators Guide 2016.pdf>>

<<ATT00001.txt>>

LEAD partners and affiliates,

Since January of this year we've witnessed a militarization of immigrant communities. The increased enforcement measures by DHS targeting unaccompanied children, women and families have had chilling effects throughout the country keeping children away from school and sending vulnerable communities further into the shadows.

AFT has partnered with the National Immigration Law Center, United We Dream, and First Focus to develop a resource guide<http://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/im_uac-educators-guide_2016.pdf> (attached) for educators and school support staff to help support and prepare undocumented students and their families for an immigration customs and enforcement (ICE) Raid. The guides will be unveiled at the United We Dream Congress which serves as the largest convening for undocumented and DACAmented students in the country.

We're very optimistic that the guide will be widely distributed and used similar to the DACA guide that the AFT created in 2014. And most importantly it will help students and parents prepare for the unfortunate callous immigration raids.

Also developed was a companion website-landing page, www.aft.org/immigration/ICEraid<http://www.aft.org/immigration/ICEraid>, with additional resources to obtain additional tools and resources (ie model resolutions, statements and research to end the immigration ICE Raids.)

Please help in distributing the resource guide widely with your networks.

Thank you - Gracias, EM
