Immigration sweeps and ICE raids have exploded in frequency and scope with the new administration, along with an increase in harmful rhetoric blaming undocumented immigrants for economic and social problems that, in fact, undocumented immigrants and their communities are themselves most vulnerable to. These policies and actions threaten the trust and relationships that make coordinated, person-centered care possible.

This webinar will be a space for frontline care providers working with communities and individuals impacted by recent immigration sweeps to:

• Hear from experts
• Learn about resources and implementation strategies to protect the communities you serve
• Connect with other care providers from across the country to share what you are seeing, hearing, and doing

We will discuss what’s working and what’s not working to not only support our communities, but our immediate networks, colleagues, partners, and ourselves as well.

As the front line providing health, social, legal, and even psychological care in this pivotal moment, how can we stay energized, engaged, and up-to-date? How can we proactively acknowledge and work through burnout? Our goal for this webinar is to create a safe, open space for providers to support each other and begin to build a network that spans sectors, states, and cultures.

Speakers:

Gabily Gonzales Founder, Cerrando La Brecha

Stephen W. Manning Executive Director, Innovation Law Lab

Victoria Martinez CEO, Spanish Community Center

Toc Soneoulay–Gillespie MSW, Adjunct Instructor, Portland State University, School of Social Work

This webinar is the first in a series leading up to our Putting Care at the Center 2025 conference in October. The conference theme is “Complex care: Meeting the moment,” and through this series we will explore how the complex care field can meet the moment to protect and support people with complex health and social needs and their care communities who are most impacted by federal policy changes.
