Giving in the Gardens: Global Rights Advocacy x Maya Migrate
Right now, immigrant families in our communities are living with fear of detention and of loved ones disappearing without a word. And every day, lawyers, advocates, and community members are stepping up to protect them. This is a night to show up for both.
Maya Migrate is partnering with Global Rights Advocacy for this week’s Giving in the Gardens. For every beer sold during the event, Old Stove will donate $1 to GRA, a nonprofit team of human rights lawyers who fight arbitrary detention and enforced disappearances and make sure people have someone in their corner when it matters most.
Come have a beer, meet the people doing this work, and learn how you can help keep our neighbors safe. There’ll be themed pop-up trivia with Head in the Clouds, and the Maya Migrate team will be there to talk about Digital Rapid Response, our free app that alerts a person’s trusted contacts and lawyer if they miss a check-in.
No tickets needed. Just show up, order a pint, and you’re already giving.
