Know Your Rights

 Advocates and community members can work together to fight messages of fear and panic by helping community members learn about their rights and how to protect themselves from ICE. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center has created a variety of materials to educate the community and prepare individuals for possible encounters with immigration authorities.

Information on community rights and how to prepare in case of emergencies:

• Printable red cards in nineteen languages to distribute to community members
• A downloadable, fillable, and printable Family Preparedness Plan
• A webinar in both English and Spanish on Family Preparedness Plans in California.
• A know-your-rights handout in eight languages to help families prepare for a possible interaction with ICE
• Know Your Rights tutorial video in seven languages to help prepare you for encounters with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• A list of Rapid Response Network phone numbers for regions throughout California
• A directory of non-profit legal services providers across the country 
• 10 Things Noncitizen Protestors Need to Know

Resources for advocates looking to train others on their rights

• A toolkit on holding a Know Your Rights presentation in your community
• A webinar in both English and Spanish, providing a sample Know Your Rights presentation and tips on planning one

It is important for advocates and community members to help inform each other as we continue the fight for immigrant rights.
