FFF prioritizes teaching. We share with others the lessons we have learned through workshops in churches, school, jails and bustling street corners. We partner with organizers and lawyers who are seeing their members and clients deported to intervene and help. We publicize legal changes in ethnic press and hold free clinics in the community. We provide technical assistance to the allies increasingly calling upon us to share the lessons we have learned about how to organize locally against a national deportation system.

Deportation 101: The Training

In 2005, FFF partnered with the Immigrant Defense Project to develop Deportation 101, an intensive seminar on the deportation system from the point of arrest to expulsion. We expected only a handful of local service-providers and organizers to attend. But over 200 organizations signed up for our first trainings, at New York University School of Law. Since then Deportation 101 has become a hotly demanded training that we have brought to cities including Boston, Miami, Atlanta, Austin, and Washington DC.

The latest Deportation 101 manual is NOW AVAILABLE! This revision was completed in May 2010. We partnered with members of the Detention Watch Network, including the Immigrant Defense Project and the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild to bring our hands-on curriculum around the country.

**Please note: a version of the manual in Spanish will be available by September 2010.

Diverse people concerned with the growing deportation system request the training. They include religious leaders of the New Sanctuary Movement; criminal justice advocates; leaders from diverse ethnic communities; and defense committees formed around an individual facing deportation. Training is one-on-one and intensive, and includes best practices on anti-deportation organizing.
