K(now) Y(our) R(ights) Business Outreach

Join us for our outreach efforts to build community and share KYR resources with local businesses and employees.

Note: If you are not already involved with Jackson Heights Indivisible, we will ask you to join us at one of our biweekly meetings so we can get to know each other a bit before joining us on an outreach shift. You can register for an in-person meeting or a Zoom meeting.

Working in pairs, we meet owners, managers, and employees at their work sites to share information on ways we can prepare now for ICE raids, what to do if ICE comes, what to do in case of detentions, and where to find additional resources.

We supply multilingual materials for employers and employees, and scripts for volunteers. We begin with a 30-minute training session for volunteers who have not done this work before.

This action is rooted in principles of cooperation, empathy, and collective action. Effective community care involves building networks of mutual support and empowering ourselves (community members!!) to meet our collective needs.
