What is Fearless at Work?
Fearless at Work is an initiative targeting business owners to equip and empower them with the tools, resources, and information to make their workplace safe for employees in the face of ICE raids and potential immigration enforcement actions in the workplace. Business owners have the power — and the responsibility — to stand up for the people who keep their doors open. In moments like this, silence helps tyranny. But action builds solidarity. Businesses that stand with labor help create safer, more resilient communities and protect their workforce from unjust targeting.
Who should come to this event?
Are you concerned about ICE raids in your community and across the country? Are you angry about the unlawful and unconstitutional violence that ICE is committing against hardworking Americans of all backgrounds? Do you believe that employees deserve to feel safe at work, regardless of their immigration status? If so, this training is for you! ICE raids and audits create fear that spreads far beyond undocumented workers. These raids destabilize workplaces, disrupt operations, and instill fear among entire teams, documented and undocumented alike. As a community member, you can help to ensure that businesses are ready to assert their constitutional rights.
