Chicago Workers Collaborative & Grassroots Law and Organizing for Workers are excited to announce that we will be holding Deferred Action Clinics this summer to support workers seeking labor-based Deferred Action.  

• In January of 2023, the Department of Homeland Security announced a new Deferred Action process for non-citizen workers who experience or witness a labor violation. Because of this, many workers are now potentially eligible to apply and need support to complete their applications.  

• We are seeking volunteers to support in these clinics, with roles including clinic participation & application preparation, pre-clinic prep & screening and post-clinic follow-up. We ask that all interested volunteers commit a minimum of 25 hours of volunteer time this summer. All volunteers will need to complete a short training on the Deferred Action process and clinic particulars, which will be provided.
