This panel will start with overview of labor-related immigration relief available to survivors of workplace mistreatment and abuse, such as labor trafficking, wage theft, and retaliation. Participants will gain an understanding of Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement (DALE), and how to advise potential DALE recipients as they navigate challenges related to unlawful presence, interactions with H-2A nonimmigrant status, and U- and T- visa eligibility. Then, we will discuss DALE as an organizing tool, including best methods for outreach, working with union and other organizers, and balancing organizing objectives with individual legal services. The panel will also review partnerships with law schools and volunteers to coordinate pro bono clinics. We will reflect on past experiences and look to future models to build capacity to support immigrant workers seeking to apply for DALE.
