KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to film the police

You have the right to ask “am I free to go”

You have the right NOT to consent to a search

You have the right to remain silent and request an attorney.

PROTECT YOURSELF
Always carry copies of your ID papers with you: Passport, Birth certificate, Driver’s license, Green card, or whatever proves your legal right to be here.

Share a copy with a trusted friend.

PROTECT OTHERS

If you see something, report something. If you witness an ICE raid or know someone who has been detained, call MIGRANT SOLIDARITY MUTUAL AID, 202 335.1183 or visit

Please share widely with your family, colleagues, neighbors and household staff or service providers. We live in scary times. Stay safe!
