CLAIM is UNA’s comprehensive initiative to protect, empower, and uplift immigrant communities. Through direct services, community education, and advocacy, CLAIM fosters safety, preparedness, and justice especially for families most impacted by immigration enforcement.

Know Your Rights
UNA’s Know Your Rights workshops educate immigrant communities on what to do if confronted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at work, at home, or in public spaces.

Led by trusted Promotoras and Promotores, these trainings help community members understand their constitutional rights and prepare for unexpected encounters.

LAC – Línea de Alerta Comunitaria (Rapid Response)
LAC is a secure, rapid-response communication tool where community members can report ICE activity or related incidents.

Using the Signal App, which offers state-of-the-art encrypted messaging, LAC promotes:

• Community safety through shared alerts

• Real-time communication across our immigrant safety network
