Help Protect AND Prepare Our Communities
As the Trump Administration conducts immigration raids across the country, it is important to be prepared and ensure immigrant families know their rights.
Advocates and community members can work together to fight messages of fear and panic by helping people learn about their rights and how to protect themselves from immigration enforcement actions.
Below is a compilation of resources from trusted partners across the country that provide helpful information on preparing for, as well as responding to, a raid at a home, workplace or public space.
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center has created a variety of materials to educate the community and prepare individuals for possible encounters with immigration authorities:
How to Prepare Yourself and Your Family
- A downloadable, fillable and printable Family Preparedness Plan
- A Know Your Rights handout in eight languages to help families prepare for a possible interaction with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)
- Know Your Rights tutorial video in seven languages to help prepare you for encounters with ICE
Information on preparing our community and connecting to services in case of emergencies:
- Printable red cards in 16 languages to distribute to community members
- A list of Rapid Response Network phone numbers for regions throughout California
- A directory of non-profit legal services providers across the country
- 10 Things Noncitizen Protestors Need to Know
Resources for K-12 educators and early childhood educators:

It is important for advocates and community members to help inform each other as we continue the fight for immigrant rights.
