SIEMBRA NC
While we are working to build even more coalition and engage with more partners, our primary relationship in this work right now is with Siembra NC, an organization that has chapters and work throughout the state, primarily working to build support and resources to protect NC’s Latine community from exploitation and violence. We encourage members to engage with their work, especially trainings that they offer for ICE verifiers in our communities.
