Resources: Know Your Rights 101 (Migrants)
People classified as “migrants” are in the eye of the fascist storm sweeping across the world. As Trump tries to put a tyrannical, authoritarian regime in place, ICE has sent out plainclothed, masked gunmen to grab our neighbors, co-workers, and friends and disappear them into private, for-profit immigration jails. Children are being torn away from their parents – again. Migrants are being deported to random countries paid by Trump to warehouse them. What is being done to migrants today is rapidly spreading to affect those of us classified as citizens. We must reject Trump’s efforts to divide citizens from migrants. We do that by acting in solidarity and crushing Trump’s ICE machine.

TRAINING
Training Material Starting in July 2025 and in collaboration with Aloha Latinos, we offer KYR Training sessions (6-hour and in-person) designed to empower attendees to in turn become trainers. We are making the training files used available to past attendees to download/modify to suit the needs of their location/circumstance. We will try to update the resources on this pages as federal, state and county laws change. Users should, however, doublecheck proactively. All material is informational only, it is NOT legal advice.
