Rapid Response Volunteer Training: Daytime Volunteers Needed!
Thursday, November 5, 2026 | 10 AM–12 PM
The Spokane Rapid Response Team needs volunteers with daytime availability! When hotline calls come in, it’s important that we have trained volunteers ready to respond and provide support to immigrant community members. If you’re available during the day or simply want to learn more about rapid response work, we want you with us!
Join Refugee & Immigrant Connections Spokane, Manzanita House, and the Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane (PJALS) for a Rapid Response Volunteer Training. Learn how to safely and lawfully document immigration enforcement activity and support people impacted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
What Is Rapid Response?
Rapid Response Teams bring together local volunteers and community organizations who are committed to solidarity, teamwork, social justice, and respect for the shared humanity of immigrants. These teams provide on-the-ground support to community members when immigration enforcement activity occurs.
Rapid responders are trained to exercise their rights to observe, verify, and document ICE or CBP activity in their communities. This work is grounded in nonviolence and adherence to the law. Volunteers help document enforcement activity, provide support to impacted individuals, and remind people of their constitutional rights.
