The UMass President’s Office is hosting two upcoming Know Your Rights webinars with Susan Church, J.D., chief operating officer for the Office for Refugees and Immigrants for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All interested UMass Lowell students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend.
Know Your Rights will provide a comprehensive overview of the laws and procedures that govern enforcement actions, including when officials must present a warrant or identification, the circumstances under which they can stop a vehicle, and how community members can support immigrants and families during potential encounters with authorities.
All are invited to take part in one of these sessions:
- Thursday, Sept. 25: 11 a.m.–noon. Register for Sept. 25.
- Monday, Sept. 29: 4–5 p.m. Register for Sept. 29.
Susan Church brings more than 25 years of experience advocating for immigrant rights and advancing equity in Massachusetts.
