Coverage notes
- Use role-based inboxes for inquiries: press@cisamn.org for media, info@cisamn.org for general public questions, and support@cisamn.org for routed support needs.
- Avoid framing immigrant, refugee, or transition experiences through traumatic detail when ordinary systems, tools, and community settings tell the story more safely.
- When in doubt, emphasize dignity-centered pathways, multilingual access, warm handoffs, privacy-forward design, and systems adaptation.
Photography guidance
- No faces without clear consent.
- No images that expose legal, medical, or immigration vulnerability.
- No imagery that turns hardship into spectacle.
- Prefer context, environment, tools, and community settings over exposure.
Dignity pledge
CISAMN does not use traumatic detail as proof, does not publish stories that create avoidable risk, and does not frame dignity as something people must earn. Public communications should preserve safety, clarity, and agency.
