On Saturday, October 4, 2025, AMAC hosted a Know Your Rights (KYR) Leadership Training in partnership with the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition. The training convened over a dozen African immigrant community leaders representing diverse countries of origin across the Commonwealth. Participants completed an intensive Know Your Rights training and a train-the-trainer workshop focused on immigration rights, civic protections, and community education strategies. As part of the project, participants were supported to lead two Know Your Rights teaching sessions within their own communities, helping to extend access to accurate, culturally responsive information through trusted messengers. This model reflects AMAC’s commitment to building community leadership and increasing grassroots rights awareness across African immigrant communities in Massachusetts.
