Know Your Rights Resources
Know Your Rights Comic book: New York City is—and always will be—a city for all immigrants. It is important that New Yorkers, including undocumented immigrants, know their rights. This comic presents a series of vignettes that illustrate the rights and protections available to all New Yorkers. It is our hope that these stories will help educate community members and prepare individuals for potential encounters with non-local law enforcement officers, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). After the comic, there are pages with links and resources to help individuals learn more about their rights in New York City. These resources can help address questions you or people you know might have. You can access the comic on WeTeach using this link(Open external link).
Know Your Rights Flyer: This resource, in partnership with the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA), serves as a reminder that NYC Public Schools does not ask about or track immigration status, student information is protected by strict privacy rules. All families have the right to free translation services and to safe, welcoming schools where immigration enforcement cannot enter without a judicial warrant. In this flyer parents are encouraged to keep emergency contacts updated and explore caregiver designation options to ensure children are cared for during unexpected situations.
MOIA’s Know Your Rights Booklets
The NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs has created Know Your Rights booklets in multiple languages to share information and resources, that can be found Know Your Rights booklets page(Open external link) along with other resources.
