SFILEN’s Outreach Team partners with schools, city agencies, community centers, and grassroots organizations to offer rights-based education to immigrant communities throughout San Francisco. Our workshops give community members the knowledge and tools to assert their rights, build community power, and access a variety of immigration-related services throughout the city.

Our outreach partners include: Arab Resource & Organizing Center, Causa Justa::Just Cause, Chinese for Affirmative Action, Filipino Community Center, Mujeres Unidas y Activas, and PODER. These organizations also work closely with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, providing community outreach and dispatcher service for the city’s only 24/7 hotline for ICE raid verification and emergency attorney activation for recently detained immigrants.
