hey y'all, please spread this around for folks who are in #california especially, and immigrants doubly so - https://ktla.com/news/local-news/hotline-helps-immigrants-move-hearings-online-to-avoid-arrest-at-court/

excerpt from the article -

Olu Orange, assistant professor of political science and international relations and founder of the USC Dornsife Agents of Change: Civil Rights Advocacy Initiative, files motions to have court hearings moved online, which prevents defendants from being seized by federal agents when they show up for court in person.

Calls to AoC’s hotline — 888-462-5211 — are answered by about 15 volunteers who help the defendants fill out the necessary paperwork to request to move their hearing online. Help is available for both English and Spanish speakers.

if you're familiar enough with the system and have legal training in other states, following this example might be well worth looking into!
