EMERGENCY PLANNING GUIDE (in case of detention or deportation) | Plan de Emergencia (en caso de detención o deportación)
Safe Haven members collaborated with the Eastside Legal Assistance Program to develop a resource guide for families at risk of detention and deportation. The King County Promotores Network took the lead in developing and publishing the guide, and trained over 100 community members (Promotoras) to share the information with others in the community. If you are interested in donating to help get the guide updated and translated into more languages, please contact Guillermo Rivera.
Guide for Emergency Family Planning in Case of Detention or Deportation – NOTE: this guide is for providers and helpers to support families. It has tips for how to guide families through the planning process.
