10/20 Know Your rights
Join Rising Hearts for a special event with Carolina Rubio-MacWright of Touching Land for a Know Your Rights training for community.
Learn how to exercise your legal rights through Carolina’s Know Your Rights training. Learn step by step what to do, what not to do and how to support your family and community.
With the advocacy, community building, creating safe spaces, and taking care of community, donations to Touching Land are encouraged if you can. The work they provide makes an impact. The running community is being impacted by law enforcement agencies who are abducting and kidnapping Immigrants and racially profiling Brown/People of Color. With the Chicago Marathon coming up and rumors / some sources saying that ICE is there and will be present, we have to keep our running family and communities safe.
NOTE: This will not be recorded for people’s safety.

About Touching Land:
Touching Land is a 501(c)(3) that uses somatic experiential arts as a tool for community-building and immigrant empowerment. We have different programming that follows different social tracks: the Empowerment Model (only immigrants) and the Building Bridges Model (mixed communities).
Our Empowerment Model is meant for immigrants and vulnerable populations where the focus is on legal rights, self-worth, mental health while building networks of support among participants. While our Building Bridges Model was created as a platform where cross-cultural connections are born. Participants from different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds seek to understand not only their shared humanity, but also their rights and duties as allies in a diverse community.
We are all about building JOY, BELONGING AND COMMUNITY.
