have supported dozens of immigrants at their ICE check-ins, immigration court
appointments, and more. They show solidarity, reduce the likelihood of
detention with their presence, and keep relatives or lawyers informed in case
of an arrest. There is an increasing number of requests for accompaniment and
need more volunteers to help fill the need. Because of the volume of requests
for check-ins and appointments in Baltimore in particular, help build a bigger
volunteer base in Maryland. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/467396844074967/.
