The Legal Aid Justice Center is filing a lawsuit on behalf of two Virginia men who were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as "collateral arrests." Essentially, "collateral arrests" are when ICE goes to arrest somebody they have grounds to detain, but also grabs unrelated parties suspected of being undocumented immigrants. Because the suspicion isn't based on any knowledge about these unrelated parties, just their ethnicity and proximity to an ICE investigation, this tactic is just racial profiling by another name.
Under Trump, arrest of immigrants with no criminal records has more than doubled, partially because of "collateral arrests."

"Reparations HOW? Fundraising Training for POC" with the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project
Monday, January 30th 2017, from 6:30-8pm, at the 3 Moons event space (inquire for address), the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project, the all-volunteer private abortion fund serving Virginia, will be holding a fundraising training for and by people of color. This event is part of the lead-up to the RRFP's big seasonal fundraiser, the National Abortion Access Bowl-a-thon. The money raised during this time of year goes to helping people in need pay for abortion services, necessary medicines, and childcare and travel costs related to getting the procedure. From the event description:
"Are you a person of color interested in fundraising, but don't know where to start? Or, have you already been involved with fundraising, but want to pick up more skills? This fundraising training, for and by people of color, digs into how to flex and build fundraising skills in the intersections of reproductive, racial and economic justice."
Free, open to people of color. You must RSVP in order to provide the organizers with an accurate headcount. Food will be provided. Childcare can be provided with three-day notice. There are four steps to get into the space, a bathroom on that level, and the venue has a dog and cat. Contact 804-293-0541 or ha@rrfp.net with questions or comments.
