About The Campaign

AGUAS (Anímate Gente, Unete, Actúa, Sobrevive - Gear Up, Unite, Take Action, Survive) is a large-scale community education campaign designed to inform and organize the immigrant community against deportations caused by programs such as 287-G, E-Verify and Secure Communities.

AGUAS strives to empower and protect families at risk by:

· Providing information and education through home-based conversations that provide simple, straightforward information that is useful and timely.

· Encouraging immigrants and their families to become active participants in the immigrant rights movement by informing their neighbors, co-workers, and friends or any other contacts that might benefit from this information.

· Collaborating with CHIRLA Base Leaders/Members, community leaders and ally organizations in order to access our broad communities.
