Where: Qualomm Stadium ( Gate A) SD Immigrant Rights Consortium Table (map)

Bilingual volunteers are needed to inform immigrant evacuees of their rights and aid them accessing emergency relief services.

The purpose of this effort is to ensure the immigrant community of San Diego are able to safely access social services without fear.

Please sign up for a four hour shift (at least 3 volunteers per shift). Spanish, Vietnamese Tagalog, Vietnamese, Arabic, Somali, Chaldean and other languages are needed.

Duties may include communicating with other relief personnel (FEMA, Volunteer Coordinator, Medical Services) to ensure non-english speaking evacuees who need translation can come to us for help.

Also, flyers about what one's rights are when confronted by the police or immigration authorities in one's home, workplace or on the street will be passed out.
