Know Your Rights: Protect Yourself and Your Community from Police, Ice, the Fbi, and the Justice System

Preparing to fight? Know your rights! Whether you’re an activist protesting on the streets, a worker preparing for ICE to come to your job, or simply a regular person concerned about the rise of fascism, knowing your rights is the first step to staying safe and free. The legal system and law enforcement can be used against you, but you can use the Constitution to protect yourself and your community. Lawyers put together this guide to help you understand what to say when cops confront you (spoiler: nothing), what is and isn’t covered by the first amendment, and more. This pocket-sized resource offers example dialogues and scripts, quizzes to test your understanding of real-world applications of legal principles, and a glossary of terms. Written by criminal defense lawyers who represent activists and have seen it all, this is an accessible must-read for anyone concerned about democracy.
