LSURJ has trained over 300 people in Community Defense skills such as De-escalation, Know Your Rights, Accompaniment, Solidarity, and How Our Liberation is Connected to the Liberation of Others. We have a list of teams and individuals already responding to calls for accompaniment. We are serving at vulnerable gatherings, meet ups, centers that accompany directly impacted communities, doing court accompaniment and more.
In 2025 Community Defense Network members provided 3,000 hours of protection at community centers, field trips, festivals and more, allowing our immigrant neighbors to seek help, gather and support one another at an incredibly vulnerable time.
We have volunteer bilingual (English/Spanish) hotline operators and response teams on call 24/7. We have had for the last year and have been circulating the number quietly in immigrant communities… but the time has come to get it out widely. Please put the number in your phone and share with people who might need it for themselves, people they work with, or at-risk places they often are.
When you share, please remind folks to only report *verified* sightings and be ready to use the SALUTE method.
If you are interested in joining our Community Defense Network, please register for an upcoming Community Defense Training either In-Person or On-line here! The LSURJ CDN training is your first stop to be included in accompaniment, witness, ICE Watch, mutual aid, and whatever formation we may need to take as on-the-ground conditions change.
