These resources have been created by legal service organizations to provide helpful general information to immigrant communities.

Red Cards and Know Your Rights Toolkit

Red Cards from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend themselves in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home. These are available in multiple languages. Download and print cards here:

The toolkit includes red cards, multilingual Know Your Rights handouts, and more.

Family Preparedness Plan

In addition to the Immigration Preparedness Toolkit, which is for anyone with immigration concerns, the Family Preparedness Plan is specifically for individuals and families with children or other dependents in their care

This resource helps families put a plan in place in case of an immigration-related emergency. Though we hope you never need to use this plan, we want to ensure all community members are prepared with a plan in place. It includes guidance for completing a Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit, to ensure that if you are ever unable to care for your child, you will have a plan in place for their care. This plan is available in English, Spanish and Chinese (disponible en inglés, español y chino / 有英文、西班牙文和中文版本)
