SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday: Listen to Kamala – Roll Up Your Sleeves and Pitch in!
DESCRIPTION:On Nov. 6\, Kamala said “You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world . . . This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.”  So let’s get going!  Join colleagues for a virtual roundtable on Giving Tuesday (Dec. 3) from noon to 1 to see which volunteer opportunity is right for you.  We know everyone can’t do everything\, but if each of us took on one (more) pro bono case\, or volunteered at one more clinic\, what an amazing impact that would have.  Join at this link! \nYou will be joined by: \n–        Daniel Carpenter\, to discuss AILA’s Military Assistance Program \n–        Katie Lambing\, to discuss The Rian Immigrant Center’s Immigration Clinics \n–        Justin Fyten\, to discuss direct representation opportunities with Kids in Need of Defense \n–        Sarah Allar\, to discuss direct representation opportunities with the PAIR Project \n–        Jessica Chicco\, to discuss clinic opportunities with the MIRA Coalition \nYou will hear from each represented organization about: \n–        What volunteer options are available and most needed? \n–        What is the typical time commitment (both in overall time spent and how long the case/project takes)? \n–        What if any mentorship or resources are available? \n–        Is prior experience in a specific area needed? \n–        What exactly is the next step for someone who wants to get started? \nBut wait\, there’s more! Everyone who attends will be entered into a raffle and a randomly selected winner will get to select the non-profit of your choice for a $100 donation in your name (covered by AILA New England). And everyone who commits to a volunteer or pro bono opportunity by the conclusion of the brownbag will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift card for a wellness-related purpose. \nIf you have questions\, just come😊.  If you have suggestions or can’t make it and have questions\, please email Robin Nice at PastChairAILANE@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:AILA NE Connected: Navigating the Trump 2.0 Storm (Open Forum)
DESCRIPTION:AILA NE Connected: Navigating the Trump 2.0 Storm \nAs we all digest the post-election results\, we are feeling uncertain\, stressed\, perhaps even angry\, and probably a whole range of other emotions—that is why connectedness and solidarity is more important than ever. Join us at AILA NE Connected: Navigating the Trump 2.0 Storm\, a supportive space for AILA NE attorneys to connect\, commiserate\, and strategize. Held twice monthly – 1st Wednesday of the month at 12 pm (join here) and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 5 pm (join here)\, this forum is designed to empower and sustain you as you face unprecedented changes and challenges\, both professionally and personally. \nWhether you’re grappling with: \n\nNew or intensifying travel restrictions\,\nManaging DACA clients under shifting policies\,\nResponding to mass deportation efforts\,\nSupporting business clients navigating new standards for common work visa\, DOL wage rules or other restrictions\,\nOr just feeling the weight of this turbulent environment\,\n\nAILA NE Connected is here for you. The AILA NE Wellness Committee and the Executive Committee will provide a space to discuss legal strategies\, share advice\, and simply vent about the stresses we all feel. Many of our members work in solo practices or work remotely—so they often don’t feel connected.  This forum is designed to provide a safe and supportive space twice a month so you can feel connected to your AILA colleagues.  Together\, we can problem-solve\, find creative solutions\, and remind each other that we’re not alone in this fight. \nNo need to register in advance—and you don’t have to stay for the full hour\, or come every session—drop in whenever you are able.  Just bring yourself and whatever is on your mind. We will stand together as advocates \, allies\, colleagues and friends.  We will get through this together!
