Please join Funders for a Just Economy, Workforce Matters, Chicagoland Workforce Funders Alliance, and Raise the Floor Alliance for a webinar on deferred action for labor enforcement, aka DALE, on August 12 at 11am MT/1pm CT/2pm ET.   Registration is required using this link.

In October 2021, the Department of Homeland Security announced it would approve immigration relief for workers participating as witnesses in labor agency enforcement investigations. By making deferred action and temporary work authorization available to undocumented workers—who disproportionately labor in low-wage, high-violation industries—DALE ensures workers can enforce their rights without fear of immigration-based retaliationand can uphold labor laws. On July 22, DHS updated its guidance to indicatethat DALE protections can now extend up to four years. 

Featuring keynote remarks by U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su, during this educational webinar, you will hear from immigrant workers, worker center organizers, and funders about how labor-based immigration relief has enhanced efforts to uphold workplace rights, build lasting worker power, and promote labor law compliance. Join philanthropic partners from across the workforce and immigration fields to learn about opportunities align and scale this critical work.
