SOMOS aims to foster Latino/a/e/x leadership to challenge pervasive anti-immigrant rhetoric in Idaho.
The ACLU of Idaho's innovative new program, SOMOS, aims to foster Latino/a/e/x leadership to challenge pervasive anti-immigrant rhetoric in Idaho.
SOMOS is a two-year program that empowers Idaho's Latine/immigrant communities and allies through Know Your Rights information, leadership training and development, and storytelling support that challenges the anti-immigrant narrative in our state.
SOMOS Idaho
SOMOS participants learn about systems of power and oppression, storytelling strategies, and community leadership in their first year; and in year two, they implement these skills and knowledge in their communities to encourage communities to feel empowered to push back against attacks on their communities.
