Jackson, WY – On Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 5:30 p.m., the Wyoming Immigrant Advocacy Project (WIAP) will hold a free family‑preparedness packet night at a local venue in Jackson. The event is designed to help families—especially those with illegal immigrant members—assemble essential paperwork that can safeguard their rights, finances, property, and loved ones should they ever be detained by immigration authorities.
What attendees will receive
Each participant will receive a preparedness packet containing copies of critical documents such as birth certificates, passports, and any existing immigration filings. The packets also include a list of emergency contacts, powers of attorney (if needed), and clear, concise legal information that explains how to protect one’s family during a detention scenario.
On‑site assistance
WIAP staff and volunteers will be on hand to guide families through the packet‑building process. Certified notaries will be available to notarize documents, ensuring that paperwork meets legal standards and can be used immediately if required.
