MIRA Coalition’s Intro to Immigration is back: 2025 Winter Training Series!

This four-part virtual lunch hour series will present relevant, up-to-date, and accurate information on immigration topics.

You can attend all 4 trainings, or choose individual sessions. This series is open to all individuals who would like to increase their knowledge of immigration-related topics and learn about helpful resources for working with immigrant populations. This is an introductory training – no prior experience or knowledge is necessary!

Join us on the following dates from 1-2 p.m. EST!

Thursday, February 13: ABCs of Immigration
Our signature introductory training session provides an overview of common immigration statuses, the privileges and restrictions associated with each, and common pathways to obtain legal immigration status — including through family and humanitarian protections.

Thursday, February 27: Immigration Policy Updates and the Work Ahead
It can be challenging to stay current with the ever-changing landscape of immigration policy. In this session, we’ll discuss some of the changes that have occurred over the past year both at the federal and state levels, and what MIRA Coalition’s advocacy is focused on for the future.

Thursday, March 13: How You Can Be an Immigrant Advocate
This training will empower participants to stay informed and to advocate for immigrant rights in schools, workplaces, and municipalities. Participants will learn how to effectively communicate with policymakers and legislators and uncover opportunities to take an active role as an immigrant rights advocate with the MIRA Coalition as we prepare for our annual Immigrants Day at the State House event on March 19.

Thursday, March 27: Rights, Resources and Benefits for Immigrants
Participants will learn about basic rights of all individuals — regardless of immigration status — and receive a broad overview of immigrant eligibility for health and safety net programs. This training also discusses best practices for interactions with law enforcement and preparation for worst-case scenarios.

Presenters:
Jessica Chicco, Director of Training, MIRA Coalition
Catherine Ramirez Mejia, Access and Resource Specialist, MIRA Coalition
