Titled, 'Know Your Rights', the webinar will equip faith leaders, who are increasingly finding themselves navigating interactions with law enforcement at houses of worship, during pastoral care, at public witness events, or in moments of crisis.
The organizers noted, "This training will equip clergy and faith leaders with a clear understanding of their legal rights and responsibilities when engaging with law enforcement agents, whether ICE, local police, or the National Guard."
The webinar will also provide practical guidance on what to expect, how to respond, and how to protect both yourself and your community—grounded in current law and real-world scenarios.
