DETROIT – To provide the public what they need to know when exercising their constitutional rights, the ACLU of Michigan has installed a 12-panel window display at its Detroit headquarters with the message: “Know Your Rights.”
The colorful design, which faces Woodward Ave., where thousands pass by each day, includes a QR Code that takes people to the ACLU of Michigan homepage, where they will find detailed Know Your Rights guides in English, Spanish and Arabic.
The guides include information on what people need to know when protesting, approached by immigration enforcement, as well as up-to-date information for international students, and more. There’s also advice for school districts about how they can protect the rights of immigrant children.
“At a time when peoples’ civil rights and liberties are being violated daily by a federal administration that shows little regard for the Constitution, it is more important than ever to know your rights,” said ACLU of Michigan executive Director Loren Khogali. “We also must be vigilant in exercising them. The people have the final say, and it is up to us to uphold our laws and constitutional principles even when the government won’t.”
