Know Your Rights: An Immigrant Rights Teach-in for the NYU Community

Presented by the NYU CRACS Sanctuary Working Group. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU, Institute of Human Development and Social Change, Latinx Project, Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies, Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, and Urban Democracy Lab.

Please join us in this Know Your Rights workshop for the NYU community. It is more important than ever to be aware of your rights regardless of immigration status. Our panel of organizers and specialists will lead us in a practical and action-oriented conversation on strategies to resist current attacks on the civil liberties of immigrant communities, discussing how to best advocate for oneself and how to show up in support of those who are most vulnerable. This event initiates a series of campus engagements focused on providing resources and information to push back against the criminalization of immigrants and new arrivals, exploitative employment practices, housing insecurity, and police brutality. Whether you are an undocumented student, an international student or staff member, a member of a mixed status family, or a supporter, our goal is to bring people together so that we can learn how to protect ourselves and each other. Lunch will be provided.

Featuring presentations from:

• Alina Das, NYU Immigrant Rights Clinic
• Luba Cortés, Make The Road New York
• Meghna Yadav, NYU Graduate Student Organizing Committee
• Cynthia Carvajal, CUNY Undocumented and Immigrant Student Programs
