Know Your Rights. In light of recent reports, it’s Know Your Rights.
In light of recent reports, it’s critical for our communities to understand what ICE CAN and CANNOT do. This guide shares essential Know Your Rights information, including how to identify the difference between a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant, and what your rights are if agents come to your door.

These resources are available in Hindi, Punjabi, Nepali, and Bangla to support language access and clarity for our communities.

This information has been adapted from materials by the National Immigrant Law Center (NILC) @nilc 
We are deeply grateful to NILC for their leadership, expertise, and continued work to protect immigrant rights.

The moments between the moments 🤍 The laughter, t The moments between the moments 🤍

The laughter, the chaos, the missed cues, the deep breaths, and the joy that happens in between. 
As we wrap up this year, we wanted to share a glimpse of the very human, very real moments that make this work what it is. Behind every program, event, and win is a team and a community showing up with care, humor, and heart.
Here’s to everything we’ve built together, the lessons we’re carrying forward, and all that’s still ahead. We’re grateful for every laugh, every connection, and every person who makes this community possible.

Today is the last day to support our work this year. If you’re able, a gift today helps carry this care into the year ahead and ensures these moments continue.
Thank you for being part of our story.

Onward, together 💛
