Understanding your rights is essential for protecting yourself and your community, especially in today’s uncertain immigration landscape. Join us for a Know Your Rights Workshop led by Glo Choi, a dedicated advocate and community organizer from the HANA Center, a nonprofit organization committed to advancing immigrant rights and social justice.

This event will provide crucial information about legal rights, tools for self-advocacy, and actionable resources to ensure you and your loved ones are prepared and informed. Dinner will be provided for all attendees, so come ready to learn and connect over a shared meal.

The workshop will cover key topics, including:

◉ How to safely navigate encounters with law enforcement or immigration officials.
◉ Strategies to protect your rights in the workplace and public spaces.
◉ Steps to prepare your family in case of an emergency.
◉ Insights on building strong support networks and accessing reliable legal assistance.
◉ History of the HANA Center, including its significant wins in advancing immigrant rights and social justice, providing inspiration and practical examples of successful advocacy.

Whether you are directly impacted or an ally seeking to help, this session is a valuable opportunity to gain knowledge and connect with others. Glo Choi will share his expertise and practical advice to help attendees advocate effectively for themselves and immigrant communities.

This event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and allies, offering a safe and supportive space for dialogue and empowerment. Don’t miss this chance to deepen your understanding, ask questions, and equip yourself with tools to advocate for immigrant and undocumented communities. Come for the knowledge, stay for the community—dinner is on us!
