Rep. Pramila Jayapal will host a virtual Immigration Justice Resistance Lab training on Dec. 14, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. PST. The event, organized by Pramila for Congress, is open nationwide and will be delivered online.
Jayapal announced the session on X, writing, “We have the power to stop ICE from terrorizing our communities!” She added that her immigration-focused Resistance Lab trainings teach participants how to defend their rights and pursue change through nonviolent action.
According to the event description, the training is aimed at people concerned about what it calls the Trump administration’s “aggressive, supercharged attacks on immigrant communities” and ICE’s expected escalation. The session will review the history of the US immigration system, outline how the administration is using immigration policy, and discuss possible next steps. Jayapal, a former immigrant rights organizer and the top Democrat on the House Immigration Subcommittee, will lead the discussion.
We have the power to stop ICE from terrorizing our communities!

In my immigration-focused Resistance Lab trainings, we’re teaching people how to defend their rights and make change through nonviolent action.
Join us on Sunday, December 14th to be part of the movement:…
Organizers say the training will also cover specific actions attendees can take to support immigrant communities and engage in nonviolent movements. The program includes interactive segments and collective discussion.
Jayapal’s team is also encouraging supporters to host local watch gatherings. A sign-up form invites people to “host an in-person Resistance Lab training” concurrent with the main virtual session. The form says the Resistance Lab series examines how nonviolent movements respond to leaders who “seize power in authoritarian ways” and offers tools and tactics for the current political moment.
Hosts are told they would be part of “dozens of other training sessions” happening at the same time across the country. Once the form is submitted, organizers will send agendas, discussion guides, and group action ideas ahead of the event. The guidance asks hosts to select a suitable location, ensure audio and video capability, invite guests early, and test equipment before the training begins.
